God is dead. Meet the kids.

Anansi Boys When Fat Charlie's dad named something, it stuck. Like calling Fat Charlie "Fat Charlie." Even now, twenty years later, Charlie Nancy can't shake that name, one of the many embarrassing "gifts his father bestowed - before he dropped dead on a karaoke stage and ruined Fat Charlie's life. Mr. Nancy left Fat Charlie things. Things like the tall good-looking stranger who appears on Charlie's doorstep, who appears to be the brother he never knew. A brother as different from Charlie as night is to day, a brother who's going to show Charlie how to lighten up and have a little fun…just like Dear Old Dad. And all of a sudden, life starts getting very interesting for Fat Charlie. Because, you see, Charlie's dad wasn't just any dad. He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion -- he is able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and baffle the devil. Exciting, scary, and deeply funny, Anansi Boys is a kaleidoscope journey deep into myth, a wild adventure, and a fierce and unstoppable farce, as Neil Gaiman shows us where gods come from, and how to survive your family. Some excerpt from the much anticipated sequel to the epic novel, "American Gods". Sorta sequel since it featured characters from "American Gods", like the title character, Nancy AKA Anansi, the trickster god. That is, if you still haven't read "The Monarch of the Glen", a short story about Shadow in Scotland (and somehow rather blatantly implying the possibility of a Shadow in London story in the future). Anyway, just go to the link for more "sneak peek excerpt" from the novel.
