In addition to the planned sequel, Gaiman has written two short story sequels featuring Shadow Moon. "The Monarch of the Glen", a novella first published in "Legends II", takes place in Scotland two years after "American Gods". The second short story, "Black Dog", was collected in Gaiman's "Trigger Warning". It takes place a year later in Derbyshire's Peak District. Gaiman said that he had one final standalone story that would take Shadow to London before he returns to the US & the start of American Gods 2.
