So, the Vulture article about Neil Gaiman...

Question: what would you do with his books after reading it? I have American Gods, Norse Mythology, and two short story collections Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things. They were my safe books when I was a teen, read them religiously, to shreds.

After reading that article... I... Just... What would you do with those books? They mean so much to me... But... Gaiman is monstrous.

If you've experienced SA and abuse, be warned, the article is extremely graphic and detailed. I'm so mad and upset.

Opinions/suggestions welcome.

I just read the Variety article. 🤢 shudders

Edit: It’s such a moral dilemma. Reminds me of the whole Gill Sans thing with Obama’s campaign. Not excuses, but I always think, this is only the stuff that has been brought to light about someone who has been caught/called out.
