I cannot tell you how much I loved American Gods & The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I very nearly had my love tattooed on my body (in the form of forget-me-nots done in a chain around my left wrist, like the goddess Easter).
This developing story continues to be so sad, upsetting, & disappointing. While Pavlovich is not the “perfect victim,” I think it‘s undeniable that he has continually & harmfully misused his power.

mcipher Agreed, it was horrible to read 4d
DebinHawaii I am so disappointed. 🤬 4d
Soscha Men though. This has been a matter of course for years. The #metoo has opened a lot of eyes & sadly scorn from the 🏹 4d

Chrissyreadit I just learned about this today- and then just finished reading this article you shared. I‘m horrified to learn about this and still processing the grossness of it and my own divorce from being a fan. 4d
BethM There‘s been a lot of complicity in covering this up. The internet is rife with stories about women being warned away in the 90s at cons etc. 4d
monalyisha @Chrissyreadit If you‘re inclined towards nonfic at all, the tagged was an interesting and earnest discussion. I‘m still processing, too! And I‘ve had months at this point. I think you never truly finish when it‘s someone whose work you‘ve really loved.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma 3d
Monsters: A Fan's DilemmaDaveGreen7777 I‘m right there with you. ☹️ Good Omens is one of my favorite novels of all time, and quotes by Gaiman from multiple works have stayed with me for years. I used to cherish his work, but now I never want to hear another word from his deceitful and disgusting mouth! 🤮 I feel so bad for his victims who lived with this pain for years. 3d
AlaMich His narration of Neverwhere is (was?) my all-time favorite audiobook. But now I think that hearing his voice will just be creepy AF. 😞 (edited) 3d
Chrissyreadit i‘ve tagged your recommendation. Thank you. This is all very disheartening on so many levels. 3d
Chrissyreadit @BethM I had no idea of any of this- and am sad it has been known about and hidden away for so long. 3d
Tamra 😒 3d
Tamra 😒 not a huge fan, but I loved the screen adaptation of Good Omens. 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures I worry there will be no real consequences. That he will hide away for a bit, and then put out a book in a couple of years and people will just accept that he is a “bad person“ but they love his talent so much they cannot miss reading his next thing. The article by Vulture was distressing even as someone in the book world who knew he was to be avoided. (edited) 3d
Clare-Dragonfly Thanks for sharing that link. This is so depressing. Why do so many authors of books that mean so much to me turn out to be awful people? I also had plans for a Neil Gaiman tattoo—glad I hadn‘t done it yet. 3d
BethM @ChaoticMissAdventures I think you‘re probably spot on. 3d
BookBr I couldn‘t bring myself to read this article and get all the surely horrific details. I‘m with @Clare-Dragonfly — why are people? It‘s so absolutely wretched, really. 3d
JacqMac I‘ve been trying to process it for months. This article made it even more fresh and horrible. I don‘t know that I can even express what I feel. But I am getting so tired of being disappointed by people. 3d
BiblioLitten It is deeply distressing. I cringe to think that his books were always an auto-recommend for me. 3d
