Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology

[Nick B]

Is anyone else looking forward to this? Havn't heard anyone talking about it yet.

 

[nixie]

I wasn't aware of this. Now that I am I will be looking forward to it.

 

[TWErvin2]

I have a copy pre-ordered for my daughter.

 

[Brian G Turner]

Is this the dramatisation of American Gods? If so, we have a discussion on that here: American Gods - TV Series

 

[Nick B]

No, it's his new novel.

 

[Lucien21]

The book is called "Norse Mythology"

Norse Mythology

 

[Nick B]

My mistake, sorry. No idea why I wrote that as gods...

 

[Brian G Turner]

Right, have edited the thread title accordingly.

 

[Son of Valhalla]

I am looking forward to getting my hands on Norse Mythology when I get the chance. Can't wait to give it a whirl and read about the Norse Gods from Neil's gaze! That sounds odd, come to think of it...

 

[CAKnight]

I've just bought it. It's partly to help with my MA as I'm penning a novel that is partly based on Norse myths.

 

[nixie]

I'm enjoying this, reminds me of the short stories I used to read as a child on myths and legends.

Here's an interview with Neil about this latest book and how he works.

How Does Neil Gaiman Work?

 

[Guttersnipe]

I've read most of the myths in the collection, but Gaiman made them feel fresh and full of life for me.

Old thread, I know, but I loved this book - again I knew the myths but loved them told by Gaiman. Also there's a youtube thing of him reading it as an audiobook, great listening before bed
