About this listen

'It followed me home,' he said conversationally.

In a rural northern village, legend tells of a ghostly black dog that appears from the darkness before you die.

Shadow Moon has been on the road a while now, but he can't walk any farther tonight, not with the rain lashing down. Gratefully he heads home with a nice English couple, who offer a box room, hot whisky and local tales. But when the man collapses en route, Shadow realises that something about this place has been left untold. Something ancient, something within the very walls of the village. Something shadowing them all.

I very much enjoy Neil Gaiman's story telling, liking this side series following on from American Gods. Nice to see some long term follow through and continuing story lines for Shadow Moon.

The continuing saga of Shadow...

A nice little novella about the journey of the mysterious hero from American Gods, especially dropping further hints about his mother which will no doubt be expanded upon in the sequel novel which Neil Gaiman says he is starting to write soon. The only problem with the performance is Neil's attempt at an American accent. The producer should have told him to stick to just reading the story. It's a minor quibble overall but it took me out of the story more than a few times.

Passes the time nicely enough and it's great to meet shadow again. It's just that it's a little disappointing after all he's gone through in America Gods he is still a bit of a patsy. Then again isn't the mythical Thor too?

Loving Shadow in the Uk... great standalone stories exploring the weird and wonderful. Dare we hope that there's a neverwhere crossover?! Maybe if we believe enough... it will exist

More rambles would be welcome!

another great story from a great storyteller. I look forward to more stories like this one.

Neil Gaiman is the best.

This, as you may surmise, is a continuation of american gods, altho it feels a little obscure being all alone in a short story. Cool god and myth ideas tho linked in with human follies and foibles

Dark, gaiman
