Blog: <p>Hallo Mr. Gaiman.. I was not really able to read for about a decade due to mental illness, and as of this past January my reading brain is back! (During those times when my brain wouldn't do the book thing, I was able to read your graphic novels and comics and it was wonderful. Thank you so much for introducing me to the world of comics-not-about-superheroes, for the Endless, and for The Graveyard Book, especially.)</p><p>Last week I was finally able to read American Gods and I loved it. The only thing I wasn't sure how to parse was that Shadow often seemed to be acting without much depth of thought. I kinda got the impression in the very beginning that he had become a fairly thoughtful, measured person in prison, if he hadn't been already. Was that a narrative choice, lots of story to get through and not much time to spend inside his head? Was it more about how he was in such a depth of grief and shock that he just kinda went with the flow? Or maybe the pact between him and Wednesday sort of overruled any thinking he might normally do about his decisions? It's been on my mind, I would love any insight you might be willing to give. Thank you for everything! </p> from

Blog: <p>saw the last post with the pulp covers, which brought this to mind, when it comes to book covers, what style do you really prefer? like when you talk to your publisher about a new work and they want to know how you want the cover to look, is there there an art style you really try to angle towards?</p> from

Blog: <p>The Graveyard Book cover ask reminded me of something I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time. </p><p>Is there a comprehensive list of your books that have Pulp Fiction covers? As far as I can tell from my *extensive* googling, it’s only said that Anansi Boys, American Gods, Stardust, and Neverwhere were released with the pulp cover (according to articles from 2016) but I bought a brand new Ocean at the End of the Lane w/ the pulp cover in 2020. So do you know if it’s only those 5 books with the pulp style covers? </p><p>Are there plans to release more of your works in the pulp style covers? If not, can there be? Because, if I may be so bold, pulp fiction style covers of Good Omens and The Graveyard Book would be two very cool additions to my bookshelf. </p><p>Sorry for this incredibly nerdy and inane ask but I’m dying to know. </p> from

Fixed: Bug gives false error message when submitting forum content in the forum Help and Support 3 years, 7 months agoI found an odd bug that seemed to throw an error message when someone was using the forum. It was some optimisation code that I had written that was not sufficiently adaptive to the different ways it might be called.
All fixed now I hope.
