This book's been around for several years but I just acquired it a few months ago. Gotta say, it's one helluva read.
A mysterious and powerful man named Shadow is released from prison shortly after his wife is killed. He attends her funeral only to receive some shocking news and meet up with a stranger who offers him a job to be his personal assistant on an incredible quest. This book blends the supernatural with mythology into a suspenseful and, at times, hair raising story that really hooks you with the characters and plot. Just tons of fun to read.
When I read the Acknowledgments in the back I half expected to see a nod to Stan Lee, even though it has nothing to do with comic books.
Loved this book. Highly recommended.
