The Anansi Boys

Author: Neil Gaiman

Fat Charlie Nancy’s life was pretty ordinary until his estranged father died and he learned he had a brother named Spider. Suddenly, Charlie’s world turns upside down as Spider, who inherited their father’s godlike powers, crashes into his life. Balancing humor and heart, Gaiman weaves a tale of family, identity, and the magic that lurks just beneath the surface of our everyday world. As Charlie grapples with his newfound family and supernatural heritage, readers are taken on a wild ride through London, Florida, and the realm of the gods.

Stories are like spiders, with all their long legs and stories are like spiderwebs, which man can get caught in but do not break.
