Funky links from Neil

More about Conrad's Fate:
... it's a Chrestomanci novel. It stars a fifteen-year old Christopher Chant, and is told by Conrad, who is rather depressed about his fate. It's funny, scary, supremely twisty, and the quintessence of what a Chrestomanci novel ought to be. (I think it's about as good as Charmed Life and The Nine Lives of Christopher Chant and rather better than The Magicians of Caprona. Your mileage may vary.) (source)
Plus an interesting article on MirrorMask with some lovely stills.
One of the things I love about Neil Gaiman's blog is all the strange and wonderful things he is interested in. These are just a few that piqued my interest:
- The Bunny of the Month Club
- The Library Hotel
- Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
- Animals on the Underground

I just read the “ordering and pricing info” link on that Bunny of the Month page.
I am going to go away. Very quietly. And maybe cry.
Start your own!
The pictures crack me up
