“I believe that life is a game, life is a cruel joke and that life is what happens when you are alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.” - Sam #NeilGaiman #AmericanGods
pickShadow meets a nice if quirky pair during his travels and agrees to stay over at their place because there‘s no hotel nearby. The story devolves from there.
Less aimless than the previous one—at least there‘s a plot here. The imagery is striking, particularly—in accordance with the title—of the animals. There‘s a nice touch of horror in the paranormal/fantasy mix, which I also enjoyed.
3.5/5
People believe, thought Shadow. It‘s what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.
