Neil Gaimen is easily one of the best storytellers in the world today. His grasp of the myths of various cultures would make Joseph Campbell envious. I found American Gods to be an impressive read because Gaimen deftly weaves a rich tapestry of myth into the ordinary waking world. He does so with such subtlety and sophistication that I was truly enchanted. Be warned though, this is not a light book. Gaimen tells a very dark tale.
