Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

Anansi Boys

Neil Gaiman

Enter the completely insane world of Fat Charlie Nancy and his family, friends and enemies. Suspend your disbelief, marvel at murderous theatrical agents, ghosts, a godlike father, a sort of imaginary brother, and remember that the spiders have all the stories.
