# Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances - Hardcover

by **Neil Gaiman** (Author)

Multiple award winning, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author Neil Gaiman returns to dazzle, captivate, haunt, and entertain with this third collection of short fiction following _Smoke and Mirrors_ and _Fragile Things_\--which includes a never-before published _American Gods_ story, "Black Dog," written exclusively for this volume.

In this new collection, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath. _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_, exclusive to this collection.

_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.
