Odin (inbunden, eng)

Building on the huge popularity of mythological retellings, here is a timely, multi-author story of the flawed but all-powerful Odin, told through ancient and modern hands, in a beautiful collectable edition.

Everyone knows about Odin, the All-father, the one-eyed, all-seeing, powerful King of the Gods, presiding over his great hall Valhalla, surveying the nine realms and the billions of souls.

He bears the pain of Ragnarok, the joy of travelling in disguise through Midgard and, shapeshifting in the dusk, joins his ravens in their flights across the mythic landscape. Featuring new stories from open submissions, this enthralling book reveals the larger-than-life tales of Odin and his kin, their adventures in the ancient and the modern world, with the gods, the giants, the valkyrie and the creatures of the epic Norse literature.

Introductory essay by Charlie Shotton, and foreword by Dr Carolyne Larrington.

The modern authors whose stories feature in this book are: K.S. Barton, Chris A. Bolton, Charlotte Bond, Gemma Church, Malina Douglas, Stephanie Ellis, Sebastian Gray, Derek Heath, Justin R. Hopper, Eric Kenron, Brandon Ketchum, Stephen Kotowych, Andy McLarnon, Parker M.

O’Neill, John Possidente, Chris Shearer and Douglas Smith.
