Sinopse

Bursting with the imaginative power of Neil Gaiman, this story blends fantasy with humour and drama.Fat Charlie Nancy is not actually fat. He was fat once but he is definitely not fat now. No, right now Fat Charlie Nancy is angry, confused and more than a little scared - right now his life is spinning out of control, and it is all his dad's fault.If his rotter of an estranged father hadn't dropped dead at a karaoke night, Charlie would still be blissfully unaware that his dad was Anansi the spider god. He would have no idea that he has a brother called Spider, who is also a god. And there would be no chance that said brother would be trying to take over his life, flat and fiancée, or, to make matters worse, be doing a much better job of it than him. Desperate to reclaim his life, Charlie enlists the help of four more-than-slightly eccentric old ladies and their unique brand of voodoo - and between them they unleash a bitter and twisted force to get rid of Spider. But as darkness descends and badness begins is Fat Charlie Nancy going to get his life back in one piece or is he about to enter a whole netherworld of pain?

NEIL GAIMAN

Mistério, fantasia, humor requintado. Eis as linhas que se entrelaçam nas tramas de Neil Gaiman — um convite a transpor a muralha da realidade, como fizera Tristan Thorn, protagonista de O mistério da estrela – Stardust, romance publicado originalmente em edição ilustrada, que deu origem ao filme homônimo de 2007. Inglês radicado nos EUA, Gaiman é reverenciado mundialmente pelos fãs de quadrinhos por suas graphic novels, como a série Sandman. Inquieto e multipremiado, ele também escreve prosa e poesia, além de atuar como jornalista, roteirista, compositor e dramaturgo. Leitor voraz na infância de C.S. Lewis e J. R. R. Tolkien, entre outros, ele diz que não seria quem é sem as bibliotecas onde cresceu. Ler, afinal, é essencial à fantasia.
