There's also Neil Gaiman's Amercian Gods (which I'm yet to finish) and Greg van Eekhout, Nancy Farmer, Joanne Harris (Runemarks). But what has been keeping me interested is the new New Zelaland's tv series 'The Almighty Johnsons' about the reincarnated Norse gods. It's pretty good, the actors are not hollywood pretty but they are fine and the acting is really good. I like the plots and hope to see more of it. I really really hope it gets to run its course.<br />Here's the trailer:<br /><object width="560" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bd80D347iSI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="sameDomain"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bd80D347iSI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="349"></embed></object><br /><br />(I'm still hoping to find something about the Slavic gods or folklore though...)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kikimora&ditemid=6693" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2010-10-10:656929:5157 2010-12-15T12:50:07Z 2010-12-15T12:50:07Z amused public 0 I love fairytales retellings.
