Synopsis
In 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.

Industry Reviews
"Gaiman's old fans will find it familiar but formidable, new readers will find it provocative but fun, and it bodes well for Gaiman's future that he's created a world where both can get along."
Entertainment Weekly - Jeff Jensen (07/13/2001)
"[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."
