"His mind is a dark fathomless ocean, and every time I sink into
it, this world fades, replaced by one far more terrible and
beautiful in which I will happily drown." -- New York Times Book
Review"Gaiman displays an uncanny knack for compressing his
expansive imagination into the close quarters of his stories'
caves, cottages, and creepy rooms....[he] takes full advantage of
his wide range, and it makes for exciting, often musical writing."
-- Boston Globe"[Trigger Warning] showcases the breadth and depth
of Gaiman's talent and the unique plangent warmth he brings to
fantasy fiction. He is never anything less than a pleasure to
read." -- Financial Times"Each of the stories and poems celebrates
a different aspect of storytelling that has informed the author's
life."
-- NPR"There's much to revel in here." -- Huffington PostPraise for
Trigger Warning: "Everything that endears Gaiman to his legions of
fans is on display ... Full of all manner of witches and monsters
and things that creep in the night, this collection will thoroughly
satisfy faithful fans and win new ones--if there's anyone out there
left unconverted. -- Kirkus Reviews"[T]his collection of stories
and poems doesn't disappoint....Gaiman has warned us about the
monsters, but then come magic and miracles. And love." --
Washington Post"Gaiman's is one of the most distinctive voices in
modern fantasy." -- Locus'All of [the stories] are told with an
assured, masterly confidence that should please anyone who misses
seeing a new Ray Bradbury collection on the shelf at the library."
-- Newsday"Gaiman calls the stories a "hodgepodge," with no real
interweaving theme throughout. But each of the stories and poems
celebrates a different aspect of storytelling that has informed the
author's life." -- NPR"Trigger Warning is a comfortable hodgepodge
of material ... but there's enough serious-minded and deeply felt
fantasy and horror to make readers hope that it won't be almost a
decade before Gaiman completes another similar volume." -- San
Francisco Gate"Lovingly crafted...gleefully enjoyable." --
Bustle.com"[I]t's the phenomenon of connecting mythology and modern
life that makes Gaiman such a captivating author." -- Winnipeg Free
Press"[T]his is not a 'best of' collection, though you'd be
forgiven for thinking so at many instances, since Gaiman is, as
always, a skilled storyteller." -- Tor.com"Neil Gaiman's writing is
so present, so engaging, that it can send spasms of bone-chilling
terror through your body and your reaction would still be, 'Please
sir, I want some more.'" -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"Each short
piece serves as an exciting foray into some macabre microcosm of
his mind. ...It's a testament to Gaiman's versatility that he
exhibits so many different styles of writing in this single
anthology." -- The Harvard Crimson"The short stories in this
collection are shocking, disturbing, funny, insightful ... Trigger
Warning offers a good introduction to the works of Neil Gaiman, or
a delightful addition to the collection of someone who has been
following him for a long time. If you're a fan, don't miss this
one." -- Oklahoma City Oklahoman"There is something for every type
of Gaiman fan here, and those new to his work will find this to be
a solid introduction to the type of stories he crafts: lyrical,
literary, sometimes quite chilling, and always strange and
provocative. ...This is a book to savor and enjoy." --
Bookreporter.com"Those who want to greet and shake hands, or settle
in for a conversational catch-up with Gaiman's delightfully
dramatic minstrel's tale-by-the-campfire style will love everything
in Trigger Warning, naturally." -- Booklist"Gaiman is such a
powerful and evocative writer that almost everything he churns out
serves to justify the aforementioned cultural triumph of fantasy
literature over realism and modernism. Gaiman's attention to craft,
passion for language and profound respect for the mythological
roots...come through even in his abbreviated prose fragments." --
