Creepy Doll

Neil Gaiman is one of my all time favourite authors. His writing style and imagination never fail to draw me into his world whenever I read anything by him. Amercan Gods, Stardust, Good Omens (with Terry Pratchett) are all wonderful books, not to mention the awesome Sandman comic series and so much more, it's so hard to pick a favourite.

Recently he made a guest appearence at a Jonathon Coulton show in Manchester where they performed 'Creepy Doll', a song from Coulton's 'Thing For A Week' album.

Gaiman did a spoken word version of the second verse. The lyrics work really well this way and almost sound like something Gaiman would have written himself. I'm currently reading 'The Graveyard Book', his latest novel and really loving it.

Here's a clip of 'Creepy Doll' with Mr Gaiman...
