    Neil Gaiman. I fucking loved Sandman and damn near everything else he wrote. Finding out he’s a total scumbag has basically ruined a lot of very dear memories.

      Yeah, this one hurt.

      Good Omens too. Can I pretend it was written entirely by Pratchett?

      Read books by Tanith Lee.

      Gaiman stole the idea of Death, Evil, and Madness being related from her books.

      I asked for Sandman two Christmases ago, before everything came out. Im still glad I read it, it’s good, but I wish I would’ve gotten used copies so at least he didn’t make money off it
