If you've never read any of his books, read one of his books. Then read another. Even the bad ones were good, and the good ones were astonishing.

It’s been at least 10 years since I last saw Neverwhere, the six-part BBC series by Neil Gaiman and Lenny Henry that subsequently became a Gaiman novel and marked one of my earliest introductions to his work. Sometimes it’s really rough revisiting early works from writers you adore because – depending on the writer and the relative earliness of said work – the odds may be sizeable that it just won’t hold up. Which is why it delights me to say, after binging the Neverwhere 15th Anniversary Edition DVD the other night, that not only does the show hold up, but it cemented my opinion that, for works from exceptional storytellers like Gaiman, the best possible medium for any filmed adaptation is television.

"He is a tulpa, a Tibetan word for a being brought to life through thought and willpower."

"I think he needs a copy of the Library of America H. P. Lovecraft as a housewarming present"

"These are a collection of Dr. Martens boots designed as if each character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series would have worn them." Me want.
