Then I saw the news about Neil Gaiman. Soooooo, suggestions of something else to read that wont give me the ick right away?
I love mysteries & thrillers, deeply introspective narratives, and a good ghost story. Cop/crime stories are cool if they're nice and twisty.
My recent favorites are:
Rebecca – du Maurier
My Cousin Rachel – " "
Pretty Girls – Slaughter
The Reformatory – Due

*The City & The City* by China Mieville
If you want a more woman-centric (and frankly better) story reimagining gods, Circe by Madeline Miller is delightful. It also seems fitting for a replacement for American Gods, since at times it dips into meditations of rage against creepy men.
