>>108683072Gaiman does distant insinuated horror like no other author I've read. The graveyard book alone has the ghouls and their city which is heavily implied to be connected to the Cthulhu mythos due to being nauseating to look at and the presence of night gaunts
The mysterious details of the men jack, who despite being the main antagonists of the book are largely a mystery, and can aparently pose a major threat to a strike force of fabled monsters. Then there's the fucking Sleer which despite being a very major plot point, we have no fucking clue what they are, what they can do, or what the hell the knife brooch and cup are. All we know is that they're very powerful. I would also bet you anything that Gaiman was behind the bit in Good Omens where deaths wings are windows to "a void of distant glittering lights, that could have been stars or could have been something else entirely." It's all maddeningly enticing, but I almost don't want answers since it would ruin some of the magic.
