Wow, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed Trigger Warning! In general, I don't care for short stories. Usually, by the time I'm getting into the tale and caring about the characters -- bam! It's over. Or worse, I never do end up caring what's happening. Neil Gaiman can weave an intricate tale in the shortest of pages! His worlds seems so well developed, even when you just glimpse them for a brief moment. Also, he can tell stories in so many different ways and from the oddest sources of inspiration. I love that his introduction includes a short note about each story, explaining where it came from or the conditions that lead him to write it. I spent my breakfast time reading one story and then its coordinating note. In that way, I never had time to feel burnt out from reading story after story (a problem I often have with collected volumes). Most of these did appear in some other context previously, so I suppose avid Gaiman fans my find them redundant. However, they were all new to me, and I super loved them! Oh, and there's an original work about Shadow from American Gods (apparently the second of three).
