Neil Gaiman

Hey man. I’m a nobody that works for a Big Chain Bookstore™️, and I have a question I don’t expect to be answered about some Neil Lore in our chain. So. Corporate sends us updates and sometimes they include moving books to different categories. I don’t remember if it was earlier this year, or late last year (in the trench of retail hell, time flows in liquid circles instead of linear concepts), but we had to move all of your books to the horror section and then about a month later we had to move most of them back out. Now. If you don’t wanna take the time to confirm or deny- it’s cool I get it, like I said I’m nobody, but I didn’t realize you were like active on tumblr which has emboldened me with the idea that you and I are, on some very distant level, cool, so I gotta ask. Word on the back aisle streets of this glorious book chain that rhymes with looks-a-million, is that you came in after corporate had us recategorize your entire collection as Horror, and said oh absolutely fuggin not, and that is why we had to move it all back. Is this true?

Ya know, most of the time, rumors passed among booksellers are just really funny gossip about people we will never actually meet.

But the idea of you walking into one of our stores and just being like - hold the phone, why is it… fix it- on like a random Tuesday, is so goddamn funny to me.
