If you like Gaiman, introduce yourself to Tanith Lee.
She inspired a lot of his stuff.

"Night's Master" is a good place to start. A demon prince visits the Earth, seducing and tormenting humanity for his own amusement.
"inspired" isn't the word. Gaiman pretty shamelessly ripped it off for Sandman. Never even acknowledged it IIRC, despite her asking him for a shoutout because she was so hard up.
N.B. this is half-remembered gossip - do your own research, don't just take my word for it
The funny thing is that I almost always call Gaiman out for stealing her ideas. I was a fan of hers for years, but never got into the gossip. I hope she's in a better place now.
