I do not even remember what the Low-Key Reveal might refer to. I'll take that as my cue to re-read.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hey. New board.
Can I assume we are discounting Good Omens since it is with TP? Because it was my gateway and is still my favorite.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Maverick rec: One of the Sandman graphic novels. Either Season of Mists or Game of You. Game of You, probably - weirdness factor at 11.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have gotten fooled by Low Key at least twice as well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's also the short stories. I think some of those might be available for free?

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
It didn't take me until the official reveal, but I too felt like an idiot when I made the connection and realized it had been in plain sight the whole time.

Sandman. Start with Sandman.
Well, okay, that's my purist reaction. The Graveyard Book may be a good place to start.
P-C, Amy -- have you read The Ocean at the End of the Lane? Because it's quick and accessible as hell. I almost feel like telling her to start with that.
Hey, will one of you who has read The Ocean at the End of the Lane give me a general rating for the emotional gut-punchiness of it? I love Neil's writing, but I've seen some comments that the book can be emotionally wrenching around the ideas of the helplessness of childhood, and that's kind of a loaded topic for me nowadays.
(Yes, I have the book and I haven't read it yet. Crazy, I know.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hm. Jilli, I didn't really get that from the book at all, but that doesn't seem like something that would ping me.
