Аннотация

...Американские боги. Боги, завезенные в Новый свет бесчисленными иммигрантами. Боги, рожденные индейскими племенами. Боги новых культов – телевидения, бизнеса, науки...

Царица Савская, подрабатывающая шлюхой на грязных улицах... Мать Войны Морриган, танцующая в ночном клубе... Анубис, заправляющий похоронной конторой в глухой провинции...

Американские боги начинают войну. Но зависит исход этой войны – не от богов, а от человека!

For absent friends – Kathy Acker and Roger Zelazny, and all points between
