Gods . I ' m building an urban fantasy setting , and one of the most iconic creatures in urban fantasy are gods what are the divine up to in our modern world today ? Think Percy Jackson , Supernatural , American Gods , Lucifer . In the Horror Shop ' verse , nobody knows what exactly gods are or were , nobody knows which mythology was true ' cause in part they all were , nobody ' s been to any afterlife to confirm which deities exist at least nobody has and returned to tell the tale , and spells don ' t reveal a damn thing . Even the angels and the demons are vague on the subject , as some do claim to be servants or enemies of certain gods or pantheons , but then you get atheist angels and agnostic demons and the whole thing just falls apart .
