Huh, did you read the actual interview with her or just a news article about what got her fired/in trouble (which on the face of it seems fairly tame, but only because CA didn't have any laws banning necrophilia at the time)?

The Reply function seems off, so this is to @avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus :  I'll have to re-read American Gods and haven't read Graveyard Book, but I have read most of his other published stuff and for me, very little of it even approaches Sandman.  And I have always wondered why that is -  or if it…

You want depraved?  Kate's necrophilia story is almost certainly based on an interview with disgraced former Sacramento mortician Karen Greenlee.
