Neil Gaiman's "Trigger Warnings" is a collection of creepy poems and short stories.
Many of the stories end ambiguously with the hint of something dreadful about to occur. Others could easily be a chapter in a novel and perhaps they were…

I very much enjoyed this book. While for the most part the stories are simply summer-type reading, there is one story on dementia (The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury) that is absolutely beautiful. Four stars for the book overall, but five…

Neil Gaiman does amazing work with his short story collection “Trigger Warnings”. Carrying a variety of ideas within the stories he does a stunning job making real connections with each of the readers on one topic. From aliens taking over…

I didn't get the thrills and chills, not to mention the triggers the author suggests I would get in his introduction. I acknowledge that Gaiman is an above average writer - I'm making my way through Sandman and I've read Neverwhere, The…
Quirky, intriguing, frightening, clever, disturbing. Often justice is served, just not as one might expect, but so well told! My fave, The Sleeper and the Spindle, a coolly updated spin on Sleeping Beauty.

Neil Gaiman is a master storyteller. The short stories in this novel had me completely entrigued until I turned the last page. Carefully weaved tales are sure to entangle you in their twists and turns. From Love Letters to Doctor Who,…

Neil Gaiman could write an instruction manual for an IKEA bookcase and I'd probably love it. But that said, this was everything I hoped it would be. Gaiman has a delicious way of utilizing language and expectation to create truly…

I like thrillers. This is a horror movie in book form. I tried one story and it was too "disturbing," as the title warns, to finish. So I tried a second and a third story. No better, so I quit the book.

Strange, eerie tales with the pitch perfect voice of a master story teller. The author also gives background and context for the stories in his introduction, which was very interesting to me as a writer. Highly recommended on audio, read…

It has taken me awhile to finally get to this and as much as I am annoyed with myself for taking so long it was definitely, definitely worth the wait. No one writes like Neil Gaiman does and there is no disappointing story in this…

Aptly titled. Scary stuff, creepy stuff, sad, and some sweet and all wonderful. Do pick it up for story beginning page 105, best new genie/3 wish story ever.

Neil Gaiman's latest collection of short stories is a fascinating mix of stories. Many of the tales are that delightful style of story Gaiman excels at in which everything appears normal initially but as you read there's a growing sense of…

My favourite part of the book was Gaiman's introduction which I thought was fabulous. This author produces work that is a wonderful combination of intelligence and creativity. A must read for Neil Gaiman fans or anyone that appreciates…

Has Neil Gaiman ever disappointed? I can't say that he has, and this collection of short stories continues that streak. Using a title that was born from the internet to alert readers/viewers etc. to potentially offensive/disturbing…

A little bit of something for everyone can be found in this loosely tied anthology. As Gaiman explains in his introduction, these are the types of stories that can "disturb" people, he both dares and warns you about trying his book. While…

Thought provoking and imaginative, Trigger Warning is an impressive collection of original material, blended with a few stories that tie into other published works. Fans of Sherlock and Dr. Who will no doubt be delighted to find tales…
