A while ago I attended Neil Gaiman's reading of The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains at the Sydney Opera House, accompanied by FourPlay string quartet and paintings by Eddie Campbell. The music was absolutely perfect, it's hard to believe they worked in different parts of the world and only had a couple of rehearsals to marry word to music. Here's a taste of that magical night. Neil says he hopes the whole thing will be available one day, and I second that.
And for Halloween, here's Neil Gaiman reading the The Graveyard Book in its entirety :)
He also suggested that we give one person a horror book for Halloween. It's a cute idea. He also said he likes Stephen King's new collection of novellas - All Dark, No Stars.
I have to say being a fan of Neil Gaiman on facebook has been great, for keeping up to date with his journal and reviews. His article on Amanda Palmer and the Dresden Dolls was an absolutely cracking read. I don't know anything about the band and I was moved...that's the way of Neil Gaiman...;)
