'Exhilarating and terrifying' Independent

'A warm, funny, immensely entertaining story about the impossibility of putting up with your relations - especially if they happen to be Gods' Susanna Clarke

If you need him, just tell a spider. He'll come running.

Fat Charlie Nancy used to have a normal life. But that all changes the moment his estranged father drops dead in a karaoke bar, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake.

Fat Charlie didn't know his dad was a god. He certainly didn't know he was Anansi the trickster spider-god, lord of rebellion and disorder. He didn't know he had a brother, either.

Now his brother, Spider, is on his doorstep trying to take over his life, flat and fiancée. And Fat Charlie's going to have to resort to something drastic - and dangerous - to get back on track.

I think of Neil Gaiman as a writer who wears the key to that land around his neck - the key to Storyland -- Elif Shafak Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure-house of story -- Stephen King A god in the universe of story -- Stephen Fry A tonic for these turbulent times * Irish Times * Much too clever to be caught in the net of a single interpretation -- Philip Pullman Intimate, erudite and illuminating -- Guillermo del Toro While we might come to his writing for gods and monsters, actually all human life is here * Independent * told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. * Mid-West Times *
