Sandman was my first Gaiman, a legacy from the boyfriend before Daniel.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I do not even remember what the Low-Key Reveal might refer to. I'll take that as my cue to re-read.
Can I assume we are discounting Good Omens since it is with TP? Because it was my gateway and is still my favorite.
Maverick rec: One of the Sandman graphic novels. Either Season of Mists or Game of You. Game of You, probably - weirdness factor at 11.
I just re-read American Gods, and did the same thing wrt Low Key.
dcp, Low Key is Loki.
I have gotten fooled by Low Key at least twice as well.
There's also the short stories. I think some of those might be available for free?

I love you all.
It didn't take me until the official reveal, but I too felt like an idiot when I made the connection and realized it had been in plain sight the whole time.
Sandman. Start with Sandman.
Well, okay, that's my purist reaction. The Graveyard Book may be a good place to start.
P-C, Amy -- have you read The Ocean at the End of the Lane? Because it's quick and accessible as hell. I almost feel like telling her to start with that.
Hey, will one of you who has read The Ocean at the End of the Lane give me a general rating for the emotional gut-punchiness of it? I love Neil's writing, but I've seen some comments that the book can be emotionally wrenching around the ideas of the helplessness of childhood, and that's kind of a loaded topic for me nowadays.
(Yes, I have the book and I haven't read it yet. Crazy, I know.)
