Available to order in the USA from www.amazon.com

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 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 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.

    Do we know the title of the DW story? Is it a new one or a reprint of Nothing O’Clock?

      Yeah, the article suggests it’s a reprint of ‘Nothing O’Clock’. It’s interesting to see the licensing extends to allow for Gaiman to publish a Who story in a book with no Doctor Who logo or anything, but good to see it out there again and this time in a more adult orientated collection. It could potentially make Gaiman fans converts over to the series.

    Neil should take over from Steven Moffat as Executive Producer.

    Either him, or Mark Gatiss or Jamie Matheison.

      He’s too busy to even write one script every year, there’s no way he’d be showrunner.
