Story
Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life. But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow's best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's summary
'It followed me home,' he said conversationally.
In a rural northern village, legend tells of a ghostly black dog that appears from the darkness before you die.
Shadow Moon has been on the road a while now, but he can't walk any farther tonight, not with the rain lashing down. Gratefully he heads home with a nice English couple, who offer a box room, hot whisky and local tales. But when the man collapses en route, Shadow realises that something about this place has been left untold. Something ancient, something within the very walls of the village. Something shadowing them all.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Wonderful story of Shadow Moon
I have to admit that American Gods is not my favorite Gaiman novel (though I have enjoyed everything he has written so far, even if it’s just for his elegant writing style) but this I really enjoyed. I did immediately understand what was going on, but that didn’t make it any less fun. Definitely recommend this for Gaiman enthusiasts

Primitive
Don't want to spoil this, more than it already is, because the twist might be the only consolation for another poor listener like myself, but just so you know, this is a most primitive story in terms of theme, imagination, and structure. A waste of time,since it has been told and retold hundreds of times in several cultures.

Niel Gaiman a One hit wonder.
I first listened to American Gods and really liked it. Since then I’ve listened to Four of his works and it’s honestly all very disappointing, I returned each one. Just plain boring and meaningless. His stories just drags on and on and he seems to just like to create stories for the sake of it.
I fell a sleep during this one several times. With such a potential arsenal of excitement at his disposal making stories about super natural things he still manages to make it as exciting as episodes of that daytime British tv show that never ends, the one with the Land Rover in the vinjett, I forgot the name although it’s been on tv for more than 20 years (that’s how exciting it’s is). His books after American Gods equally.
He is a one hit wonder. Stay clear unless you want to scream “But Come ON for Gods sake...”
