Warning, this story is really horrific and will be heartbreaking for any fans of his, but Neil Gaiman is a sadistic [not in the BDSM sense] sexual predator with a predilection for very young women.

    Yeah he was racist, but also a New England resident in like 1910 who married a Jewish woman.

      I read an anecdote where Lovecraft went on some sort of antisemitic rant only to be gently reminded by his wife who he married. I guess he was an equal opportunity bigot.

        I mean…yeah it seems like he hated pretty much everyone roughly equally, except the English. Idk how a person can hate the Saxons but like the Anglo Saxons.

      I honestly think that Lovecraft might have suffered from some mental illness, the guy had so many phobias. His childhood wasn’t good either, he was racist because he genuinely thought they will kill him or hurt him.
