‘This is about the soul of America, the idea that everyone came here from somewhere’ NEIL GAIMAN

After three years in prison, Shadow Moon is free to go home. But hours before his release, his beloved wife is killed in a freak accident. Numbly, he boards a plane where he meets an enigmatic stranger who seems to know Shadow and claims to be an ancient god – and king of America.

Together they embark on a profoundly strange road trip across the USA, encountering a kaleidoscopic cast of characters along the way. But all around them a storm of unnatural proportions is gathering.

War is coming, an epic struggle for the very soul of America. And Shadow is standing squarely in its path.

NEIL GAIMAN.
WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.

**Includes a brand-new author preface, introduction to the author’s preferred text, The Monarch of the Glen novella, reading-group discussion questions, an interview with Neil Gaiman and ‘How Dare You’, an essay on American Gods**
