    Gaiman asked her, to sit on his lap. Pavlovich stammered out a few sentences: She was gay, she’d never had sex, she had been sexually abused by a 45-year-old man when she was 15. Gaiman continued to press. “The next part is really amorphous,” Pavlovich tells me. “But I can tell you that he put his fingers straight into my ass and tried to put his penis in my ass. And I said, ‘No, no.’ Then he tried to rub his penis between my breasts, and I said ‘no’ as well. Then he asked if he could come on my face, and I said ‘no’ but he did anyway. He said, ‘Call me ‘master,’ and I’ll come.’ He said, ‘Be a good girl. You’re a good little girl.’”

    🤢

    Edit: spoilered for graphic description of sexual abuse quoted from the article

      It worked for me, no paywall, but here’s an archive link which should work:

      I continue to find his world building to be fantastic.

      I also can pirate everything he’s made. So, basically, it’s guilt-free entertainment

        I 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.

        Do 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

          I’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.
