风暴逼近，一场新旧神灵的大战即将爆发。影子刑满获释了。他的理想很简单：回到妻子身边，重拾旧日的工作和生活。但妻子死了，过去的生活也随之化为泡影。就在他彷徨无计的时候，一个陌生人来到他身边。他有一个奇怪的名字，星期三，而且似乎对影子的一切了如指掌。他向影子提供了一份工作，充当他的保镖，陪他漫游美国。影子上路了。但他渐渐发现，星期三所游历的美国并不完全是现实中的美国。他似乎有一种神力，能深入现实背后，进入“后台”，显示出支配美国社会生活的种种力量，见识种种奇异的人物。The storm was coming..For the three years Shadow spent in prison, all he wanted was to get back to the loving arms of his wife and stay out of trouble for the rest of his life. But days before his release, he learns that his wife has been killed in an accident, and his world becomes a colder place.On the plane ride home to the funeral, Shadow meets a man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday, a self-declared grifter, who offers Shadow a job.Shadow, a man with nothing to lose, accepts. But he soon learns that his role in Wednesday’s schemes will be far more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. Magnificently told, American Gods is a work of literary magic that will haunt the listener long after it has been heard.Anansi Boys《蜘蛛男孩》故事就像蜘蛛，有长长的脚；故事也像蜘蛛网，让人缠绕在其中。远古时代，所有动物都想用自己的名字为故事命名。那时，他们依然唱着天空、彩虹和海洋，那时，动物既是人也是动物，而阿南西非常喜欢捉弄他们――特别是老虎，因为老虎希望所有故事都以他的名字命名。这些事情胖查理本来不知道。直到老南西在酒吧唱得正开心、下一秒却从舞台上倒下，撒手人环（同时拉下了台前正妹的小可爱，引起另一阵骚动），他才得知：他的爸爸是阿南西，故事之神。他说出的一字一句都会成为故事，并传颂下去。还有另一件事是：胖查理有个弟弟叫蜘蛛，拥有所有迷人的个性特质（就像老爸），和所有会令人难堪的乐天与任意妄为（这完全像老爸！）跟胖查理完全不一样。胖查理是两人之中比较无趣、没有存在感的那个。而他无聊但安全的人生，并没有因为老爸过世就变得安稳：凭空出现的弟弟让他的工作、未婚妻都岌岌可危，而他的救星却是四个疯癫老太婆……然而，切断父子手足的牵绊，就真能顺遂一生吗？Fat Charlie Nancy is not actually fat. He was fat once but he is definitely not fat now. No, right now Fat Charlie Nancy is angry, confused and more than a little scared - right now his life is spinning out of control, and it is all his dad's fault.If his rotter of an estranged father hadn't dropped dead at a karaoke night, Charlie would still be blissfully unaware that his dad was Anansi the spider god. He would have no idea that he has a brother called Spider, who is also a god. And there would be no chance that said brother would be trying to take over his life, flat and fiancée, or, to make matters worse, be doing a much better job of it than him.Desperate to reclaim his life, Charlie enlists the help of four more-than-slightly eccentric old ladies and their unique brand of voodoo - and between them they unleash a bitter and twisted force to get rid of Spider. But as darkness descends and badness begins is Fat Charlie Nancy going to get his life back in one piece or is he about to enter a whole netherworld of pain?
