Neil Gaiman
I've just found author Neil Gaiman's weblog.
I first discovered his work with his widely-acclaimed Sandman series, and then his novels, Neverwhere and American Gods.
To my mind one would follow that order as an introduction--his work really shines when accompanied by the fine illustrations of Dave McKean (his collaborator throughout the Sandman series of graphic novels). Author Stephen Rauch has even done a scholarly examination of Gaiman's work as it relates to the thought and writings of Joseph Campbell.
He has a dark and wry sense of humour and what seems to be an encylopedic knowledge of things fascinating and bizarre.
