cotton-candyman-blog asked:
Neil gaiman can you give me a lengthy answer about the other mother in coraline? Who is she really? How long has she lived? Why didn't the cat help the other children? Are there others like her? What are her powers? Where is she? What if she escaped?

neil-gaiman answered:

1) Not really.

2) She is the beldam.

3) Long. Much longer than a person or a cat.

4) Because it wasn’t born then. Also, it’s a cat. It didn’t help Coraline much.

5) I’m afraid so.

6) You don’t want to know.

7) All of her except the hand is on the other side of the door. The hand is still on this side.

8) That would be bad.
