AMERICAN GODS. ANANSI BOYS. THE MONARCH OF THE GLEN. BLACK DOG.

Original, engrossing, and endlessly inventive, a picaresque journey across America where the travellers are even stranger than the roadside attractions.
Gaiman has a rich imagination. . . and an ability to tackle large themes
A very fine and imaginative writer
