minus-square@SirSamuellink12•16 hours agoI continue to find his world building to be fantastic. I also can pirate everything he’s made. So, basically, it’s guilt-free entertainment
minus-square@LesserAbelink1•3 hours agoI can understand having already been into his work, but since I’m not I certainly would pick almost any other thing to read than Gaiman.
minus-squarePorto881linkEnglish1•16 hours agoDo you have any good recs? I’ve read Coraline and started American Gods and neither really gripped me that much, even if I love the Laika Coraline film
minus-squaregidlink6•edit-213 hours agoI’d recommend Anansi Boys, Good Omens and if you’re into comics, The Sandman. My favourite of his works is Ocean at the End of the Lane, but I’m very conflicted about that one due the parallels pointed out in this article. Edit: removed American Gods from the recommendations as you said you had already tried it.
