WHAT IS THE USE OF A BOOK ASTHETICS: Coraline by Neil Gaiman


 

NOTE JANUARY 2025: NEIL GAIMAN IS AN ABUSER, I WROTE THIS PIECE FAR BEFORE ANYONE KNEW. PLEASE READ THE SIDE OF NEIL GAIMAN HIS FANS NEVER SAW, BY LAUREN STARKE (TRIGGER WARNINGS APPLY)

These things- even the things in the cellar- were illusions, things made by the Other Mother in a ghastly parody of the real people and real things at the other end of the corridor. She couldn't truly create anything, decided Coraline.
Photomontage by me for Neil Gaiman's Coraline.
