thing is - i'm not a horror fiction reader but i've heard a lot about gaiman.
i read (stardust?) then ananci boys, then american gods.

i have good omens and neverland around somewhere - havent read them yet.

he reminds me of a lighter younger clive barker.

i'm not a big fan .. but the book kept me reading to the end..
