I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, but I've just started watching Coraline for the first time. It's kinda messed up, bud.

It’s exquisite! An absolutely delightful read for children of all ages. So many wondrous things to throttle a child’s imagination. The diminishing completeness of the wood is an immortal moment, never mind all the other wonders. Also kinda messed up, in the best way possible.

Story about grooming kids hmm well as they say write what you know..
