DESCRIPTION
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.
REVIEWS
"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 [from Smith]."
—Fantasy Book Critic

The Boys are Back in the Town eBook Douglas Smith
While the characters are interesting, a lot of their back story seems to rely on the reader's past exposure to older myths. They made sense to me, but they might feel a little 'thin' to someone who had not already become familiar with them in prior incarnations.That said, the story was definitely engaging and makes you want to know what they'll do next.

Absolutely fantastic version of Ragnarok. I love it! I will definitely be reading more of Douglas Smith's work.
Disclaimer I received this short story from the author and am voluntarily post this, my honest heart-felt opinion.
