Neil Gaiman Interviews Stephen King
I interviewed Stephen King for the UK Sunday Times Magazine. The interview appeared a few weeks ago. The Times keeps its site paywalled, so I thought I’d post the original version of the interview here. (This is the raw copy, and it’s somewhat longer than the interview as published.)
I don’t do much journalism any more, and this was mostly an excuse to drive across Florida back in February and spend a day with some very nice people I do not get to see enough.
I hope you enjoy it.
