American Gods Clips

When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow know, this storm will change the course of his entire life. Left adrift by the recent, tragic death of his wife, and suddenly hired as Mr. Wednesday’s bodyguard, Shadow finds himself in the center of a world that he struggles to understand. It’s a world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like Technology and Media. Mr. Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence in this new America, and reclaim some of the influence that they’ve lost. As Shadow travels across the country with Mr. Wednesday, he struggles to accept this new reality, and his place in it.

American Gods premieres April 30 on STARZ.

Ce povestiri am mai citit #98

Helion Online nr. 64, august/septembrie 2016:

1. Ionuț Caragea – Ca la noi la nimenea. Lucrare distinsă cu premiul al II-lea la Concursul național de proză umoristică Helion, ediția I, 2016. Umor grosier. Cum pot avea clonele amintiri contrafăcute? Când clonezi un original, îi clonezi și amintirile? Daca da, cum e posibil în cazul în care originalul e deja mort?

2. Violeta Cuțurescu Urdă – Conspirația. Lucrare distinsă cu premiul al III-lea, ex aequo, la Concursul național de proză umoristică Helion, ediția I, 2016.. Începe rău, cu o virgulă ce dă peste cap prima frază. Din nou, umor pe care nu-l gust.

3. Răzvan Teodor Coloja – Cronică fină de film fin: Interstellar – geniu în stare lichidă.. Lucrare distinsă cu premiul al III-lea, ex aequo, la Concursul național de proză umoristică Helion, ediția I, 2016. Da, lucrare.

4. Răzvan Teodor Coloja – Dracula Untold cu spoilere cu tot. Lucrare distinsă cu premiul al III-lea, ex aequo, la Concursul național de proză umoristică Helion, ediția I, 2016 Știam textul, e relativ amuzant, dar nu în contextul de față.

5. Ambrose Bierce – Un naufragiu psihologic (traducere de Lucian-Vasile Szabo). Ăăăăă… oooooook…™
