Reasons Why I Love Neil Gaiman! 

What makes Neil Gaiman so cool (in my eyes anyway!)...

  1. The quality of Neil's writing is SUPERB. I've read lots of his work over the years and have never thought any of it was rubbish. OK, some stuff is better than others, but all of it is good...
  2. Neil's characters are so real. Morpheus, Death and the rest of The Endless...Shadow...Crowley and Aziraphale...Fat Charlie...Tristran and Yvaine...Richard, Door and The Marquis...Coraline...I feel like I know them all...Neil creates real worlds and real people...or as near to that as the power of imaginaton can get!
  3. His output is astonishing...and his works take up a significant amount of space in my many bookshelves!
  4. Neil seems to still possess the "common touch"...he still seems genuinely delighted that people like his works. He frequently shares his work for nothing, allowing free downloads of some of his work and likes to interact personally with his fans. A lot of "celebrities" with far less talent, could learn a few things from him...

Neil Gaiman Quotes

"Life - and I don't suppose I'm the first to make this comparison - is a disease: sexually transmitted, and invariably fatal." - Neil Gaiman

Lovecraft, it has subsequently been printed in the anthology of Neil Gaiman's work, Fragile Things, and is available online. The online version takes the form of a Victorian periodical or newspaper, which includes various advertisements that reference characters such as Vlad Tepes, Victor Frankenstein, Spring Heeled Jack, and Dr. Jekyll...

Amazon Price: $11.67 (as of 12/12/2009)Buy Now

"Over the past twenty years, Neil Gaiman has developed into the premier fantasist of his generation, achieving that rarest of combinations-unrivaled critical respect and extraordinary commercial success. From the landmark comic book series The Sandman to novels such as the New York Times bestselling American Gods and Anansi Boys, from children's literature like Coraline to screenplays for such films as Beowulf, Gaiman work has garnered him an enthusiastic and fiercely loyal, global following. To comic book fans, he is Zeus in the pantheon of creative gods, having changed that industry forever. For discerning readers, he bridges the vast gap that traditionally divides lovers of "literary" and "genre" fiction. Gaiman is truly a pop culture phenomenon, an artist with a magic touch whose work has won almost universal acclaim.
Now, for the first time ever, Prince of Stories chronicles the history and impact of the complete works of Neil Gaiman in film, fiction, music, comic books, and beyond. Containing hours of exclusive interviews with Gaiman and conversations with his collaborators, as well as wonderful nuggets of his work such as the beginning of an unpublished novel, a rare comic and never-before-seen essay, this is a treasure trove of all things Gaiman. In addition to providing in depth information and commentary on Gaiman's myriad works, the book also includes rare photographs, book covers, artwork, and related trivia and minutiae, making it both an insightful introduction to his work, and a true "must-have" for his ever growing legion of fans."
