Synopsis

This is the classic, multi-award winning novel from the 'writer of rare perception and endless imagination' William Gibson. Days before his release from prison, Shadow's wife dies in a car crash. Numbly, he makes his way back home. On the plane he meets 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 proportions threatens to break.

Media Reviews
* 'Gaiman has a rich imagination...and an ability to tackle large themes' - Philip Pullman * 'Gaiman is a treasure-house of story and we are lucky to have him' - Stephen King * 'A very fine and imaginative writer' - The Times * 'Neil Gaiman is a star. He constructs stories like some demented cook might make a wedding cake, building layer upon layer, including all kinds of sweet and sour in the mix' - Clive Barker
Author Bio
Neil Gaiman is a messy-haired white male author trapped in the body of an identical author with perhaps even less-tidy hair. Despite being English, he lives more in America than he does anywhere else in the world, and is currently somewhere in his mid-forties.
