Blog: I’ve seen a fair number of posts about Coraline, both from you and from other people, and everyone who read it as a child seems to have found it terrifying and seems to think it’s way too scary to be a children’s book.

Have you heard from any other readers who felt that way? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 12 months agoLots. In fact people who found it scary as children seem to be in the minority. Most of the people who encountered it as children I’ve talked to read it as an a […]

Blog: Hi! Excuse me! First of all, I’d like to thank you for that Doctor Who episode you wrote. Second of all, I’d like to thank you for introducing me to R.A Lafferty. You wrote the introduction to the first collection of his stories that I bought (it’s got a yellow cover and images of flying rocks, presumably those of the Stutzamutza merchants), and in the introduction, you say you wrote to Lafferty, and asked him impertinent questions about writing. To carry on the tradition, I am impertinently asking if you could share some of those question, and hopefully their impertinent answers? from
