Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is a British author known for blending fantasy, horror, and mythology in works like *Sandman*, *American Gods*, *Coraline*, and *Good Omens*.
His writing spans comics, novels, children's books, and screenplays, often exploring dreams, stories-within-stories, and the power of narrative itself.
I'm reading some Neil Gaiman before bed.
