In his latest novel, Gaiman Neverwhere explores the vast and
bloody landscape of myths and legends where the gods of yore and
the neoteric gods of now conflict in modern-day America. The
antihero, a man of unusually acute intellect through whose eyes we
witness the behind-the-scenes dynamics of human religion and faith,
is a convict called Shadow. He is flung into the midst of a
supernatural fray of gods such as Odin, Anansi, Loki One-Eye, Thor,
and a multitude of other ancient divinities
