Over in Chapel Hill at the Varsity, already sold out but surely a hotbed for scalpers on eBay and Craigslist, is Neil Gaiman, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Newberry, Bram Stoker, Carnegie, World Fantasy and 1,500 other awards, including quite possibly several invented just to thank him for his work. Known for his comic book series Sandman, novels ranging from American Gods to Coraline to The Graveyard Book, and just being a damn snappy dresser, Gaiman appears with fellow storytellers Edgar Oliver and Peter Aguero as part of a bus tour organized by Moth founder George Dawes Green, which means this will be a grand evening of readings and interaction.—Zack Smith
