The Boys Are Back in Town

by Douglas Smith

Overview

Paulo and Dino run a quiet little bar in Toronto, happily retired from their former gig of being immortal gods on Olympus...and Asgard...and... Well, let's just say they've been around.

But their peaceful retirement ends when Pop drops in. And the Father of the Gods has brought company. Unwanted company.

Urban fantasy, adventure, humour (short story)

"The Zelazny-inspired 'The Boys Are Back in Town' nicely toes the line between quirky humor and pathos." —Publishers Weekly

"A partly funny, partly dark story ... I enjoyed this one a lot; one of the most 'pure entertainment' tales of the [Chimerascope] collection." —Fantasy Book Critic
