>Gaiman
How can anyone who enjoys fantasy, literature or fantasy literature even stomach pretending to like Gaiman?
He's like the hacks hack.
>>20940871
>Le Guin
Fuck no. I will never not be mad that people pretend she's good. Hurr she has good prose, no she fucking doesn't. The only way you'd consider her prose good is if her opponent is Hope Hodgson or some shit.
If it wasn't for her politics and social class she would never have been pushed by the con crowd.

well lovecraft might not have thought of it as a completely continuous mythos but he did use characters repeatedly not just gods but nyarlahoteps and such as well
