A contemporary fantasy of old gods and new

Neil Gaiman’s American Gods stages a conflict on Earth between old gods and new ones, using a contemporary-fantasy framework to bring mythology into contact with modern life. This 10th Anniversary Edition presents the Author’s Preferred Text and includes a special introduction by Gaiman. With its broad premise of competing divine powers, the novel sits at the intersection of fantasy, myth, and the cultural question of what people choose to worship and believe in.

Book overview

"Mystery, satire, sex, horror, poetic prose....If you have enjoyed John Crowley's Little, Big or Stephen King's The Stand or the urbane horror fiction of Jonathan Carroll...then American Gods arrives just in time."
--Washington Post

"Dark fun, and nourishing to the soul."
--Michael Chabon, author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

It has been a decade since #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Anansi Boys, The Graveyard Book) rocked the literary world with American Gods--his breathtaking tale of the war on Earth between old gods and new. For those who have yet to experience Gaiman's bestselling tour de force--a novel USA Today called "a powerful, searing force that makes readers confront what is real and what is not"--and for those eager to enter this astonishing world again, comes the Author's Preferred Text 10th Anniversary Edition. Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Bram Stoker Awards, with a special introduction by the author, this is American Gods as Neil Gaiman always meant it to be.
