Trigger Warning explores the masks we all wear and the people we are
beneath them to reveal our vulnerabilities and our truest selves. Here is a
rich cornucopia of horror and ghosts stories, science fiction and fairy tales,
fabulism and poetry that explore the realm of experience and emotion. In Adventure
Story—a thematic companion to The Ocean at the End of the Lane—Gaiman ponders
death and the way people take their stories with them when they die. His social
media experience A
Calendar of Tales are short takes inspired by replies to fan tweets
about the months of the year—stories of pirates and the March winds, an igloo
made of books, and a Mother’s Day card that portends disturbances in the
universe. Gaiman offers his own ingenious spin on Sherlock Holmes in his award-nominated
mystery tale The
Case of Death and Honey. And Click-Clack the Rattlebag explains the creaks
and clatter we hear when we’re all alone in the darkness.
A sophisticated writer whose creative
genius is unparalleled, Gaiman entrances with his literary alchemy,
transporting us deep into the realm of imagination, where the fantastical
becomes real and the everyday incandescent. Full of wonder and terror,
surprises and amusements, Trigger Warning is a treasury of delights that
engage the mind, stir the heart, and shake the soul from one of the most unique
and popular literary artists of our day.
Trigger Warning includes previously published pieces of
short fiction—stories, verse, and a very special Doctor
Who story that was written for the fiftieth anniversary of the
beloved series in 2013—as well “Black Dog,” a new tale that revisits the world
of American Gods.
