Synopsis "American Gods: The Tenth Anniversary Edition: A Novel "

Now a STARZ(R) Original Series - Season 3 premiere in January 2021"Pointed, occasionally comic, often scary, consistently moving and provocative....American Gods is strewn with secrets and magical visions."--USA TodayNewly updated and expanded with the author's preferred text. A modern masterpiece from the multiple-award-winning master of innovative fiction, Neil Gaiman.First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic, lauded for its brilliant synthesis of "mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose" (Washington Post) and as a modern phantasmagoria that "distills the essence of America" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is the story of Shadow--released from prison just days after his wife and best friend are killed in an accident--who gets recruited to be bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic trickster, Mr. Wednesday. So begins Shadow's dark and strange road trip, one that introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. For, beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a storm is brewing--an epic war for the very soul of America--and Shadow is standing squarely in its path."Original, engrossing, and endlessly inventive."--George R. R. Martin

Neil Gaiman (Portchester, England, 1960) is one of the most influential and versatile writers in contemporary literature, known for transforming the fantasy genre with his unique imagination and fresh approach to narrative. From a young age, Gaiman showed an intense passion for reading, devouring everything from Tolkien and C.S. Lewis classics to comics, which marked his creative path.

Gaiman began his career as a journalist and was decisively influenced by his encounter with screenwriter Alan Moore, which led him to write comics alongside artist Dave McKean, with whom he created the graphic novel Violent Cases. Later, he was hired by DC Comics to reimagine Sandman, turning a secondary character into a masterpiece of adult comics. He has also collaborated with Terry Pratchett on the novel Good Omens (1990) and has worked as a screenwriter on series like Doctor Who.

Winner of prestigious awards such as the Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, and Locus, and a member of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, Neil Gaiman is a versatile author who combines mythology, fantasy, and a unique narrative style, achieving a lasting impact both in literature and popular culture.
