"You're weird" This was one of my favorite books as a child

[muppet-molly]

Neil Gaiman

He's maybe seen these words, I sent him a thing, but I wanted to say, in this blip, how much his work and the work of others has meant to me.

Between Roald Dahl, Daniel Handler, the fabulous Edward Gorey, and Neil Gaiman, my life is touched and changed. So many of their works have meant the universe to me, especially in regards to the way they create with children in mins. The way they don't hold back, the way they never talk down. They don't treat children like fragile, weak, stupid things. The children who read these works are treated as brave, clever, insightful, soulful. It's a beautiful thing to have grown up with.

I can't say how much Coraline has meant to me, and many other people I suppose. The Gashlycrumb Tinies. All of Dahl, really. A Series of Unfortunate Events. (Special shout out to The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy) There have been others, but these three got there first. And goodness, that Coraline.

I was inspired. I collect them, frightening and dark children's books and comics, and I write stories of my own. Not for adults, I don't have the mind for it, but for children. Frightening things, good and properly perilous. They're deeply, wonderfully flawed. I self-publish, sold a few, but really I wanted them for myself. They live on my bookshelves, breathing quietly, my little paper children. My head is full up of stories, dark and dangerous and delightfully wicked.

The lovely Mr. Gaiman and the others mentioned here have/had been been busy creating all of their lives. I appreciate that more than I can express.
