About this title

Synopsis

''Breathtakingly good'' Observer

''One of the best twist-writers at work today'' Guardian

---
We are all wearing masks. That''s what makes us interesting. These are stories about those masks, and the people we are underneath them.

Secure your own mask before reading. Before being transported to worlds filled with witches, watchers and big black bees, with deathless Kin and pirate girls, with things that prowl in the darkness beyond the circle fire, to find the Shadder lurking at your journey''s end. But then what happens? There''s always something waiting for you. There''s always more. Just keep turning the pages.

This cornucopia of storytelling will open your eyes to the darkness around you, the magic and the monsters, the myths and the miracles, and the truths we find in the most extraordinary of places.

''He masters fear like no other writer'' Independent on Sunday

WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.

From the Back Cover

"We each have our little triggers . . . things that wait for us in the dark corridors of our lives." So says Neil Gaiman in his introduction to Trigger Warning, a remarkable compendium of twenty-five stories and poems that explore the transformative power of imagination. Here is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghost stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that chart the wilds of experience and emotion. In "Adventure Story"—a thematic companion to the bestselling novel The Ocean at the End of the Lane—Gaiman ponders death and the ways that people take their stories with them when they die. Also included is "Nothing O'Clock," a special Doctor Who story that was written for the beloved series, as well as the never-before-published "Black Dog," a haunting new tale that revisits the world of American Gods as Shadow Moon stops in at a village pub on his way back to America.

Trigger Warning is a treasury of literary delights that engage the mind, stir the heart, and shake the soul.
