American Gods

The brief winter days leading up to Christmas were like moments of light between the winter darknesses, and they fled fast in the house of the dead
As fantasy goes, American Gods is of the absolute best, mixing dark magic with jittery action, chilling tales with off-kilter philosophy. It's one of those books that I keep coming back to, time and again, and by now I hold it in such high (indeed, nigh-on irrational) regard that it's difficult to describe with any degree of objectivity. If you get a chance, read it. That's all.
