American Gods

Author: Neil Gaiman

Shadow Moon, fresh out of prison, finds himself caught in a war between the old gods of mythology and the new gods of technology. As he travels across America with the enigmatic Mr. Wednesday, Shadow uncovers secrets about his own past and the true nature of reality. Gaiman’s masterful blend of fantasy and Americana creates a rich tapestry of belief, sacrifice, and the power of stories. I was captivated by the way familiar landscapes transformed into something magical and unsettling. A mind-bending journey that left me questioning the very fabric of our modern world.
