From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman a contemporary masterpiece combing
mythology adventure and illusion¿one of ten classic Gaiman works repackaged with elegant
original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene Yee Released from prison Shadow finds
his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed a stranger offers him a job and Shadow
with nothing to lose accepts. But a storm is coming. Beneath the placid surface of everyday
life a war is being fought - and the prize is the very soul of America. An inspired
combination of mythology adventure and illusion American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic
journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is
quite simply a contemporary masterpiece. "Piercingly observed jaggedly poetic ruthlessly
cutting a path through graveyards of dead stars and dead money and dead feelings this novel is
the map back to dawn." -- Steve Erickson "American Gods manages to reinvent and reassert the
enduring importance of fantastic literature itself in this late age of the world. Dark fun and
nourishing to the soul." -- Michael Chabon
