Winner of multiple awards, including the Hugo and the Nebula, American Gods is Neil Gaiman’s sweeping exploration of story, myth and the shifting nature of belief itself. ‘Original, engrossing, and endlessly inventive, a picaresque journey across America where the travelers are even stranger than the roadside attractions’ After accepting a job as Wednesday’s bodyguard and driver, Shadow finds himself on a road trip across the haunted landscape of America and, along with his shady boss, is soon embroiled in a conflict that could destroy them all: a war between the old gods and the new. Aimless and in shock, he meets Mr Wednesday, a hustler and con man with a number of peculiar friends. Just before his release from prison, Shadow learns that his wife has been killed in a car accident. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end’ And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered.
