First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic, lauded for its brilliant synthesis of 'mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose' (Washington Post) and as a modern phantasmagoria that 'distills the essence of America' (Seattle Post-Intelligencer).
It is the story of Shadow -- released from prison just days after his wife and best friend are killed in an accident -- who gets recruited to be bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic trickster Mr. Wednesday. So begins Shadow's dark and strange road trip, one that introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. For, beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a storm is brewing -- an epic war for the very soul of America -- and Shadow is standing squarely in its path.
