American Gods

by Neil Gaiman
$8.26
American Gods
American Gods

Mythic journey through America's spiritual landscape.

"American Gods" is akin to a mythical tapestry woven with the threads of modern America and ancient deities. If you're intrigued by the idea of gods walking among us, wrestling with their place in a world that's forgotten them, then this is your kind of narrative odyssey. Neil Gaiman's talent in storytelling makes the surreal feel plausible and the journey of Shadow is one brimming with the awe and somber reflections on belief, identity, and cultural evolution.

Description

Days before his release from prison, Shadow's wife, Laura, dies in a mysterious car crash. Numbly, he makes his way back home. On the plane, he encounters the enigmatic Mr Wednesday, who claims to be a refugee from a distant war, a former god and the king of America. Together they embark on a profoundly strange journey across the heart of the USA, whilst all around them a storm of preternatural and epic proportions threatens to break. Scary, gripping and deeply unsettling, American Gods takes a long, hard look into the soul of America. You'll be surprised by what - and who - it finds there.
