American Gods sequel

[tylenol4000]

A while back Neil Gaiman mentioned he was working on a sequel to American Gods. He's mentioned it a few times actually. I'm pretty sure he even talked about working on it on his blog.

Does anyone have any insight into the American Gods sequel? I haven't heard anything about it from him in awhile, and Gaiman is usually pretty open about what he's been working on. They're also working on the HBO adaptation of American Gods. I'm curious about the sequel novel because I'm wondering if the series will adapt it, or if by the time the book comes out it will be too late.

I always thought of Anansi Boys as the sequel.

I always thought of Anansi Boys as the sequel.

Anansi boys (which I absolutely love, by the way) is in the same universe, and there was the novella The Monarch in the Glen, but Gaiman mentioned a direct sequel a few years ago. I've not heard anything about it since, oh 2011 or 2012, though.

Pardon me, having thought about Fat Charlie, I now have an intense desire to go listen to Under the Boardwalk.

It's not quite as epic, but I think(!) I enjoyed Anansi Boys more than American Gods. At least the ending was better.

Both great books though.

Gaiman hinted at more direct sequels related to the TV series though.

There is a tv series in the work isn't there?
