6/23/2023 0 Comments Black dog neil gaimanShadow Moon is an unusual protagonist in that he is not an investigator nor a ambitious troublemaker. When a local man collapses while walking home at night, Shadow Moon is dragged into events that lurk in the background of this cosy little village. The locals tell Shadow Moon about a ghostly black dog that is said to appear from darkness just before you die. Gratefully, he heads home with a nice English couple, who offer a box room, hot whisky and local tales. Shadow Moon has been on the road a while now but he can’t walk any further tonight, not with the rain lashing down. It incorporates the same world and main character, Shadow Moon, of American Gods. This makes Black Dog kind of a spin-off. The complete set of illustrated Neil Gaiman novels…īlack Dog is set in a rural village of North England. I promised myself that if I liked this, I would bump American Gods up nearer to the top of my reading list. The book was illustrated by Daniel Egnéus and, at only 79 pages, was a chance to sample both the author and illustrator for the first time. With this in mind, I was delighted to find Black Dog by the same author in my local library.
