This edition adds 12,000 words cut from the original publication. "The central premise of the novel is that gods and mythological creatures exist because people believe in them (a type of thoughtform). Immigrants to the United States brought with them spirits and gods. The power of these mythological beings has diminished as people's beliefs wane. New gods have arisen, reflecting America's obsessions with media, celebrity, technology, and drugs, among other things." - Wikipedia. Nominated for virtually all the major genre awards it won the 2002 Hugo, Nebula, Locus and Bram Stoker awards. Now a major cable television serial. A fine copy in a cloth slipcase, without dust jacket as issued. The readers copy is fine in stiff wrappers. (21725)
