Brett, and Neil Gaiman conjures a gritty mind-bending fantasy, set in a world where delusion becomes reality . . . and the fulfillment of humanity's desires may well prove to be its undoing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen belief defines reality, those with the strongest convictions--the crazy, the obsessive, the delusional--have the power to shape the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd someone is just mad enough to believe he can create a god . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolent and dark, the world is filled with the Geisteskranken--men and women whose delusions manifest. Sustained by their own belief--and the beliefs of those around them--they can manipulate their surroundings. For the High Priest Konig, that means creating order out of the chaos in his city-state, leading his believers to focus on one thing: helping a young man, Morgen, ascend to become a god. A god they can control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrouble is, there are many who would see a god in their thrall, including the High Priest's own doppelgangers, a Slaver no one can resist, and three slaves led by possibly the only sane man left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs these forces converge on the boy, there's one more obstacle: time is running out. Because as the delusions become more powerful, the also become harder to control. The fate of the Geisteskranken is to inevitably find oneself in the Afterdeath.
