Galveston

This book started out slow. Then I discovered it was the third book in a trilogy. So then it made some sense that I was having some trouble getting into this universe because it was assuming some knowledge. However, once I got into it and understood the mythology and background, I read it voraciously. It's quite a page turner, set in a post-apocalyptic near future on the island of Galveston, Texas, where there's a city within a city full of magic, gods, and monsters. It's sort of a microcosmic version of American Gods crossed with the weirdness of a Clive Barker novel. This book won the 2001 World Fantasy Award.
