A special illustrated edition of Black Dog by bestselling storytelling legend, Neil Gaiman. This American Gods world novella will thrill Games of Thrones devotees and Terry Pratchett fans alike. Illustrations by celebrated artist Daniel Egnéus. 'Original, engrossing, and endlessly entertaining' George R. R Martin on American Gods'It followed me home,' he said, conversationally. In a rural northern village, legend tells of a ghostly black dog that appears from the darkness before you die. Shadow Moon has been on the road a while now but he can't walk any further tonight, not with the rain lashing down. Gratefully, he heads home with a nice English couple, who offer a box room, hot whisky and local tales. But when the man collapses en route, Shadow realises that something about this place has been left untold. Something ancient, something within the very walls of the village. Something shadowing them all. Review: Beautiful! - But I feel it could have been longer! Sigh, still a logical continuation to one of my favourite books! I hope he writes more of this 😊 Review: Three Stars - Okay. Did NOT satiate my "More of American Gods" craving.

A bit short though.

Short but expansive
Taking further the story from American Gods, this short piece answers the old question from every book we've read: what next. However, it also raises the same question in itself. Yet there is some satisfaction, a feeling of continuity which will bring a smile to the face of the reader.

Wonderfully exciting as everything from Neil
‘A wren made a nest inside the skull of a gibbeted corpse, flying in and out of the jaw to feed its young. In the midst of death, as it were, life just keeps on happening.’

More Flambeau
The Silver Surfer meets G.K Chesterton. Shadow is becoming a psychic detective, sniffing out Evil and righting ancient wrongs. The character is in danger of being tweetified, but it's a quick read.

Marvelous
Really love this one. Neil Gaiman is always the best option if you are going to read or gift a book.

Typically great story telling by Neil Gaiman.
I'm biased though as I love pretty much everything he writes. It's short but beautifully written and illustrated.

I was waiting more...
After I've read 'American Gods' and 'Anansi's Boys' I was expecting something more. It's, of course, a very good work but it's not the same atmosphere you breathe in the previous novels
