Eight Million Gods is a 2013 novel written by Wen Spencer and published by Baen Books, following a young girl named Nikki Spencer. Nikki is a published novelist with an unusual psychological disorder where she is compelled to write. While hiding in Japan from her mother, a senator who has repeatedly attempted to commit Nikki to an insane asylum "for her own good", Nikki writes the next scene for her book, where an expatriate American is killed messily with a blender, and posts it to her fanpage. Shortly thereafter, a policeman overhears her description of the scene and promptly arrests her for the murder of a man who was killed just the night before in the exact same manner. Nikki faces tanuki assassins, a sinister government organization, and a mysterious deadly man who has a fondness for kittens.This work exhibits the following tropes:

Couldn't Find a Pen: If Nikki can't find a pen, she'll resort to this when her hypergraphia sets in.

comment
Fantasy-Forbidding Father: A pretty extreme example with Nikki's mother, which only solution to her daughter's OCD is to toss her in an insane asylum and forget she exists. The fact that Nikki, even with her compulsion, is a writer good enough to get a consistent money flow and is otherwise a fully functional person is something she doesn't give a damn about.

comment
Gratuitous Japanese: Mildly justified since the book is set in Japan, but the casual reader will need to refer extensively to the glossary in the back of Japanese terms.

Contemptible Cover: It's a Baen book. It shows two girls in brief schoolgirl outfits engaging in a leaping Single-Stroke Battle with katanas while snarling racoons gather around them. No such scene exists in the book.
