About this listen
Global phenomenon and Sunday Times best-selling 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".
In this new volume, 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 as "Black Dog", a new tale that revisits the world of American Gods.
Trigger Warning is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghosts stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that explores 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", is 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 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. Trigger Warning engages the mind, stirs the heart, and shakes the soul. Neil Gaiman is one of the most original and popular literary artists of our day.

Great stories but titles missing in chapter list
Great stories but on the same day I purchased "The Neil Gaiman Reader" and most of the stories are the same. I like to listen great stories more than one time but still feel that my credit could be spent better way.

A jewel of the storyteller's craft
What did you like most about Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances?
This book is a joy. Some of the stories are disturbing and Neil Gaiman's reading will make your hair stand on end during some of the stories. This genius book is so good you will want to limit your listening to make it last. Not always comfortable but always a compelling listen. Experience a master storyteller reading his own work. This is a gem of book. Savour it and then re-listen, you will notice new things on every listen.
What does Neil Gaiman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
As the author as well as the reader, Neil Gaimen is able to give the correct stresses and inflections that make these stories such outstanding examples of the art of story telling.

A book of wonders and strange happening
As only Neil Gaiman can these short stories are bound loosely together with some underlying themes that crop up with in a plethora of ways. The crafting of the stories is as always superb and the common themes are something you may notice if you look for them.
Most importantly each story offers a peek into a different fascinating world and read by the Neil himself. It does not get any better than this.

Delivers what it promises.
Great narration and great storytelling, as always, by Neil Gaiman. But this book is really not for the faint hearted or those who suffer from frequent nightmares. The description is very accurate: Short fictions & Disturbances. If you are familiar with Gaiman, go ahead, you know what you sign up for. If not, maybe consider listening something else first that is a bit less disturbing and then graduate to Trigger Warning!

Gaiman's story telling
Gaiman's story telling always leaves me feeling as if life has two layers and most of us only usually see the top layer. Forever a reader.

There's kindness in there
I just love Neil Gaiman's stories and his voice is one of my de-stressers. There is horror in there, but then there are sone stories that are so beautiful, so sweet. And even in the darkest ones, there abit of light, a bit of kindness.
