Description:
Welcome to the world of American
Gods as you've never heard it before . . .
First
published in 2001, Neil Gaiman's masterpiece, American Gods, is the New York Times bestselling
novel that told the story of Shadow, an ex-con whose life took an unexpected
turn when he became bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic
trickster and rogue, "Mr. Wednesday."
But
Shadow's story did not end with the last scene of American Gods.
In "The Monarch of the Glen," we follow Shadow to an isolated castle in
Scotland, where he becomes embroiled in an ongoing battle between men and
monsters. And in "Black Dog," Shadow travels to a small village in England
where he is befriended by a local couple with a dark past . . . and its ghosts.
Now,
for the first time ever - and available exclusively on vinyl - these
masterpieces of imaginative genius are performed by an all-star cast helmed
by Sir
Derek Jacobi and featuring the return of Daniel Oreskes as
Shadow and Maggi-Meg Reed as Bast. Accompanied by the

Kingsley, David Rintoul, Siobhan Redmon, Daniel Weyman, and Adjoa Andoh, this
superb recording is a true audiophile's delight.
