"Neil Gaiman" - biography (taken from Bradley Beard's Facebook page)
"Dreams shape the world". Tonight I present Neil Gaiman, host of 13 Nights of Fright on Fox Movie Channel which aired October 19 through October 31, 2004. He was joined by the lovely Malena Teves. Neil Gaiman's had quite an illustrious career. My first encounter with Neil's work was when I unknowingly purchased DC Comics January 1989 issue of Sandman #1. I was immediately taken back by his incredible storytelling ability and purchased 3 copies of each subsequent issue thereafter. I quickly became an avid Neil Gaiman fan. Following his work over the years, I've never lost the initial fascination that I first had for his storytelling. Unfortunately, I was completely unaware of his horror hosting excursion until I watched the must-have horror host documentary, American Scary, where he's featured prominently in the video and conveys his experience as a horror host. If dreams shape the world as Mr. Gaiman
concludes, then it's certainly the nightmares that define it.
