Neil Gaiman's busy year

by Euan Kerr, Minnesota Public Radio

Fantasy writer Neil Gaiman burst onto the international scene two decades ago with his Sandman comic. Since then he's written novels, plays, filmscripts, and children's books.

St. Paul, Minn. — He has no fewer than three major Hollywood adaptations expected in theaters in the next year.

Now his new collection of short stories has already cracked the New York Times Bestsellers List.

Many of the stories in the collection are quite horrifying. Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr asked Gaiman where those tales originate.
