Neil Gaiman returns to the territory of his masterpiece, American Gods, to once again probe the dark recesses of the soul.
“Awesomely inventive.… When you take the free-fall plunge into a Neil Gaiman book, anything can happen and anything invariably does.” —Entertainment Weekly
God is dead. Meet the kids…
Fat Charlie Nancy’s normal life ended the moment his father dropped dead on a Florida karaoke stage. Charlie didn’t know his dad was a god. And not just any god—he was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion, able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, baffle the devil, and cheat Death himself.
He also never knew he had a brother. Now brother Spider is on his doorstep—about to make Fat Charlie’s life even more interesting . . . and a lot more dangerous.
Exciting, scary, and deeply funny, Anansi Boys is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth, a wild adventure, and a fierce unstoppable farce in which Neil Gaiman shows us where gods come from, and how to survive your family.
