If you like his work, look up Tanith Lee. She basically created 'weird fantasy' and Gaiman stole many of his best ideas directly from her.

A good start is "Night's Master." The Lord of all demons spends his days below the flat earth, and his nights tormenting and/or seducing humankind.

Err... where's the actual article?

Thought this would've come sooner to be honest.

The new article in Vulture ("There is No Safeword") that broke the nda is the catalyst for this.
