A road trip novel blending Americana with Norse mythology, the brilliant and unique American Gods celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. After three years in prison, Shadow has done his time. But a storm is brewing. His wife has died in mysterious circumstances and the very strange Mr Wednesday, who claims to be a refugee from a distant war, a former god and the king of America, has offered him a job. Through this remarkable tale, Gaiman takes the reader into the heart of America. Buy tickets online at www.edbookfest.co.uk Box Office: 0845 373 5888
