Blurb: Days before his release from prison, Shadow's wife, Laura, dies in a mysterious car crash. Numbly, he makes his way back home. On the plane, he encounters the enigmatic Mr Wednesday, who claims to be a refugee from a distant war, a former god and the king of America.

Together they embark on a profoundly strange journey across the heart of the USA, whilst all around them a storm of preternatural and epic proportions threatens to break.

Review: Not really for me. It's been awhile, but I remember not enjoying this too much. It was readable and far from bad, but I simply didn't get too into it, and it's poisoned my view of the author a bit whenever I think of reading their other works.
