When Neil Gaiman wrote American Gods, he created a surreal, sprawling epic about how whole peoples—and their gods—move to new lands, and how it changes them. He was sure no one could ever film such a story, but he delightedly admits he was wrong in the detailed interview at the start of this companion volume to the Starz television series. Filled with candid shots, film stills, and concept art, the book takes a deep dive into the show's character development and world building (including how it was able to expand on some of Gaiman's favorite side stories), and features interviews with Gillian Anderson, Crispin Glover, and Ian McShane.
