Katie is just back from FantasyCon! Next year Brighton hosts World FantasyCon 2025; come and join us!

Neil Gaiman’s short story is called ‘The Problem of Susan’ and is in the collection Fragile Things (it is of course entirely up to you whether or not you wish to support Gaiman’s work by buying it new or second hand.)
