"[A] noirish sci-fi road trip novel in which the melting pot of the United States extends not merely to mortals but to a motley assortment of disgruntled gods and deities....This might all sound like a bit much. But Gaiman [has] a deft hand with the mythologies he tinkers with here; even better, he's a fine, droll storyteller." Publisher's noteShadow is a man with a past. But now he wants nothing more than to live a quiet life with his wife and stay out of trouble. Until he learns that she's been killed in a terrible accident. Flying home for the funeral, as a violent storm rocks the plane, a strange man in the seat next to him introduces himself. The man calls himself Mr. Wednesday, and he knows more about Shadow than is possible. He warns Shadow that a far bigger storm is coming. And from that moment on, nothing will ever he the same... AnnotationIn a strange and wonderful science fiction tour-de-force that takes place in a contemporary America infested with strange and mythical beings, a recently released convict named Shadow accepts, perhaps unwisely, an ill-defined job from a mysterious man named Wednesday. He soon finds himself involved with ghosts, knights, and alternate planes of dimension as he is recruited into a battle, involving forces of myth and modernity, that he hardly understands. Winner of the 2001 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel as well as the 2002 Hugo and Nebula awards.
