Neil Gaiman and Tori Amos – some of the best character writing around…

The first is some of the best character sketches I’ve ever read. The second is a really neat short story entitled “Pages from a Journal found in a shoebox left in a Grayhound Bus somewhere between Tulsa, Oklahoma and Louisville, Kentucky.“

Both are also available in the collection “Fragile Things” (Neil Gaiman)

I can’t recommend the albums themselves highly enough, either:
