With this third collection of short stories, which follows Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things, multiple award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman returns to dazzle, captivate, haunt, and entertain. Included in this volume is a never-before-published American Gods story, "Black Dog," written exclusively for this collection.
Neil Gaiman peels back the layers of reality in this new anthology to uncover the mysterious, dark realm below. Trigger Warning features previously released short fiction, poetry, and a very special Doctor Who story written for the cherished series' 50th anniversary in 2013. It also features a brand-new story, "Black Dog," that delves into the realm of American gods and is only found in this collection.
In order to expose our weaknesses and authentic selves, Trigger Warning investigates the masks we all wear and the persons we are below them. This is a veritable rainbow of science fiction, fantasy, horror, fairy tales, fabulism, and poetry that delve into the depths of experience and feeling. Gaiman explores mortality and the idea that individuals carry their tales with them into the afterlife in "Adventure Story," a thematic companion to The Ocean at the End of the Lane. His social media project "A Calendar of Tales" features brief commentary based on responses to fan tweets about the months of the year. Examples include tales of pirates and the March winds, a book-made igloo, and a Mother's Day card that predicts cosmic upheavals. Gaiman's critically acclaimed mystery novel "The Case of Death and Honey" puts his own clever twist on Sherlock Holmes. Furthermore, "Click-Clack the Rattlebag" clarifies the clatter and creaks we hear while we're alone ourselves in the dark.
A brilliant writer of unmatched creative brilliance, Gaiman captivates us with his literary alchemy and takes us to a place beyond reality where the ordinary becomes radiant and the fantastical becomes real. Trigger Warning is a treasure trove of pleasures that captivate the intellect, arouse the heart, and shake the spirit from one of the most distinctive and well-known literary artists of our day. It is full of wonder and fright, surprises and amusements.
