Who Killed Amanda Palmer?

Thursday, July 16, 2009

No, fortunately I’m not reporting a homicide, it is, as I’m sure many of  you already know, a reference to the new book by Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman, a deliciously macabre offering of post-mortem photography accompanied by stories by Neil. And when not enjoying her hobby as a part-time corpse Amanda’s been known to [...]
