I have long said that Gaiman would fill the publishing vaccuum that Stephen King has left in his "retirement" because I think Gaiman will appeal to a similar audience. The fact that he's drawing on previous characters makes me think this even more. Only time will tell! I loved Coraline and American Gods but found Neverwhere a bit trite. I can't wait to give Anansi Boys a try! Thanks for this Kent!
