NEW YORK (AP) — One of Neil Gaiman’s publishers has dropped him as the British author faces multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment. And his name is not on the website of the agency which has for years handled his speaking appearances.

[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.

Thank you for the recommendation.

I've been championing her for years.

Amanda Palmer used to live in Boston. She had a cult in Boston that had massive orgies in the attic of this crazy artist brownstone in the south end called the Cloud Club. I’m betting that she was not just a passive participant but the Ghislaine Maxwell of this relationship.

Some of the reports I have read point to exactly that kind of interaction.

I haven't read the full report but it seems she was at least aware of what was going on, and it didn't bother her all that much.

Thought this would've come sooner to be honest.
