A modern mythic epic where Shadow Moon, newly released from prison, is drawn into the orbit of the enigmatic Mr. Wednesday. As old gods clash with new — technology, media, and globalization — Shadow finds himself at the center of a battle for America's soul. Gaiman blends folklore, Americana, and fantasy into a darkly poetic road novel.
