[off topic]

If you like his work, look up Tanith Lee. She basically created 'weird fantasy' and Gaiman stole many of his best ideas directly from her.

A good start is "Night's Master." The Lord of all demons spends his days below the flat earth, and his nights tormenting and/or seducing humankind.

The new article in Vulture ("There is No Safeword") that broke the nda is the catalyst for this.
