Okay so Twelve Months is written. Iโm doing a writing convention the rest of this week. Then I have to spend maybe a week or ten days doing corrections and cleanup and then it will be off to the editing process.
Hey all - do not go into this read lightly. It's a beast of an article that is both horrific and graphic.
Know where your mental health is and stay safe. The summary of the article in no way prepares you for the content.
It takes a lot to rattle me but this sure as hell did.
Editor's note: This story contains content that readers may find disturbing, including graphic allegations of sexual assault.
Last summer, a British podcast broke the news that multiple women had accused Neil Gaiman, the acclaimed British fantasist and author of โThe Sandmanโโ and โCoraline,โ of sexual assault. Most of them were in their 20s when they met Gaiman. With one exception, the stories take place when Gaiman was in his 40s or older. By then, he had a reputation as one of the greatest modern comic-book writers and an outspoken champion of women.
For our new cover story, New York features writer @lilapearl talks to more women who shared allegations of assault, coercion, and abuse. She also looks into Gaiman's upbringing in Scientology, as well as his relationship with his wife, Amanda Palmer, and what she knew. Through their stories, she uncovers the dark secrets Gaiman hid for decades. https://t.co/YOwkvLcrMI
