Neil Gaiman, once the poster-boy for dark fantasy and the undisputed king of Vertigo comics with his medium-defining comic book, The Sandman, stands accused of abusing and sexually assaulting multiple women, raising the recurring question: how do we handle the revelation that our heroes are monsters? In this episode of Demon Toast, we discuss the pitfalls of parasocial relationships and attempt to establish this maxim: Celebrities are not your friends. The art they make is all you will ever really know of them.
