AOT #5: Neil Gaiman Podcasts from Anansi Boys

Neil Gaiman, one of fiction's most audaciously original talents, now gives us with "Anansi Boys" a mythology for a modern age — complete with dark prophecy, family dysfunction, mystical deceptions, and killer birds. Not to mention a lime.
Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times bestseller, "American Gods," the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny — a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure-house of story, and we are lucky to have him."
