/sorrynotsorry a rant

So I liked Gaiman's stuff well enough so far but this ... what the hell is this even supposed be?! It kind of felt like your liberal grandpa gone edgelord or something. Seriously, what is it with all the contextless trivia dropping? Nice for him that he knows a thing exists, but if he knew anything more substantial about it than what one can get from an encyclopedia article, maybe he could have done something interesting with it. Also, granted I don't read a lot of horror because I'm a wuss, so maybe I am not an expert, but I am pretty sure annoyance and eye rolls where not the reaction the scary bits were supposed to get. Especially not from a wuss.

Headphones on, sit back with a cold drink and simply enjoy this. Not since the original radio series of The Hitchhikers Guide have I enjoyed a full cast production as much, and Dirk Maggs has produced some other Gaiman ones like Neverwhere
