BOOK HIGHLIGHT
Title: Trigger Warning
Author: Neil Gaiman
Pages: 308 pages
Call number: F GAI
Celebrated children, YA and adult author Neil Gaiman gives us his third short story collection. Written during the last decade, each of the 24 stories is meant to be somewhat discomforting if not disturbing.
In Click-Clack the Rattlebag, for example, a young child asks his babysitter for a scary but not-so-scary bedtime story. The child explains that he really fancies a type of stories called Click-Clack the Rattlebag in which night creatures drink your insides and leave your empty carcass hanging in the wind, going click-clack, click-clack... Do I need to warn you, reader...? Fans of classic detective stories will be delighted with The Case of Death and Honey in which we find our beloved Sherlock Holmes at his older brother Mycroft's deathbed. Before drawing his last breath, he challenges his younger sibling to his most difficult investigation yet, that of solving the mystery of Death itself. Written in two parallel stories The Case… is as convincing a Holmes story as a non-Doyle writer can write. In the suspenseful The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains Gaiman successfully mixes mystery and fantasy with an air of mythology to create the tale of a family man in search of a treasure. For our added enjoyment all the stories are briefly explained in the introduction. Trigger Warning introduces us to a fun and motley cast of characters who live in creepy, fantastic and sometimes familiar worlds. You can find some of the stories online, in video and audio formats. Neil Gaiman "is the author of more than twenty books, and is the recipient of numerous literary honors." (from the jacket) mario chioini
