Now a STARZ® Original Series produced by FremantleMedia North America starring Ricky Whittle, Ian McShane, Emily Browning, and Pablo Schreiber.

Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life.

But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow’s best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A trickster and a rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself.

Life as Wednesday’s bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined. Soon Shadow learns that the past never dies . . . and that beneath the placid surface of everyday life a storm is brewing—an epic war for the very soul of America—and that he is standing squarely in its path.

“Mystery, satire, sex, horror, poetic prose—American Gods uses all these to keep the reader turning the pages.”—Washington Post

A wonderful book for the people, who love myths and legends, who believe in them and imagine to be a part of such life.

Otroligt spännande, älskar att alla karaktärer har en egen röstskådespelare.

A Great American Novel written by an Englishman. Brilliant.

Bogen er virkelig god! MEN virkelog dårlig performance af oplæserne. Det lyder som Duke Nukem spillet fra 90'erne, hvor monolog sættes sammen i et forsøg på at lyde som en samtale. Totalt unaturligt og mega irriterende at høre på. 😁Vælg i stedet en af de andre udgaver af denne bog, med en enkelt oplæser.

While the TV show version of this book led me to this audio copy, I came to appreciate the visuals of the written word as an independent experience. I highly recommend this reading of a full cast because it's the best way to infuse yourself in the imaginative action. It's a really long read but you can return to it over the course of months. And learn lots about mythology in the process.

A fantastic tale that keeps you guessing and makes it oh so hard to pause. A short walk to listen to a chapter soon turns into a 10 mile hike.Beautifully written and perfectly cast and narrated. Would recommend this for any fan of fiction and thrillers.
