In Trigger Warning, global phenomenon and Sunday Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman returns to dazzle, captivate, haunt, and entertain with this third collection of short fiction, which includes a Doctor Who adventure, the David Bowie-inspired The Return of the Thin White Duke and a never-before published American Gods story, Black Dog. The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains was serialised on BBC Radio 4's Book at Bedtime in November 2015. 'We are all wearing masks. That is what makes us interesting. These are stories about those masks, and the people we are underneath them.' Neil Gaiman, writing from a cabin in the dark woods. Make sure you secure your own mask before reading. Before being transported to worlds filled with witches, watchers and big black bees, with deathless Kin and pirate girls, with things that prowl in the darkness beyond the circle fire, to find the Shadder lurking at your journey's end. But then what happens? There's always something waiting for you. There's always more. Just keep turning the pages. 'We each have our little triggers.' Literary alchemy from 'a writer of rare perception and endless imagination' (William Gibson), TRIGGER WARNING is a cornucopia of storytelling: horror and ghost stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry. It will open your eyes to the inexhaustible supply of darkness around you, the magic and the monsters, the myths and the miracles, and to finding truths in the most extraordinary of places.

A Neverwhere short story from one of the brightest, most brilliant writers of our generation - the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of the award-winning The Ocean At the End of the Lane. The coat. It was elegant. It was beautiful. It was so close that he could have reached out and touched it. And it was unquestionably his. *** 'Gaiman's achievement is to make the fantasy world seem true' The Times

Új novelláskötetében Neil Gaiman a maszkjainkat lerántva próbálja feltárni sebezhető, igazi énünket. Finom humora és borzongató képzelőereje olyan novellákat eredményez, melyeket újra meg újra el akarunk olvasni. A Fekete kutya című, eddig sehol máshol nem olvasható történet az Amerikai istenek világában játszódik, és Árnyék kalandjait szövi tovább. A gyűjtemény többi része is hasonlóan varázslatos: Gaiman számos stílust és műfajt - horror- és kísértettörténet, science-fiction és tündérmese, tanmese és vers - felvonultatva deríti fel az emberi érzések, élmények és tapasztalatok birodalmát. Egy novella az Óceán az út végén mellé, egy öregkori Sherlock Holmes-rejtély, egy közösségi média inspirálta kisprózafüzér és további húsz írás található a kötetben, mely méltó párja a Tükör és füstnek és a Törékeny holmiknak.

V románe Anansiho chlapci sa čitatelia znovu stretnú s pánom Nancym – Anansim. Toho už poznajú z Amerických bohov, a je to skôr bôžik než boh, a navyše neplecha, sukničkár, pijan a lenivec. Anansi sa v tomto príbehu stretne so svojimi dvoma potomkami, a to s Tučniakom Charliem, nesmelým a nepriebojným chlapíkom, a s jeho bratom Pavúkom, ktorý zdedil všetky otcove božské schopnosti aj necnosti. Pavúk neznesiteľným spôsobom zasahuje Tučniakovi Charliemu do života a komplikuje ho, preberie mu snúbenicu, ba spôsobí trestné stíhanie. Preto sa Tučniak Charlie rozhodne, že sa otravného bračeka zbaví, a ponúkne ho vtáčej žene. A od tej chvíle sa všetky vtáky na svete usilujú zmárniť nielen Pavúka, ale aj Tučniaka Charlieho, ktorý musí spojiť sily s bratom, aby sa obaja zachránili.

Global phenomenon and Sunday Times bestselling 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 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.

Před tím, než stvořil Sandmana, napsal Neil Gaiman příběh Černé orchideje. Druhořadé superhrdinky, která se postaví zlu a... umře. Poté, co je Susan Lindenová alias Černá orchidej brutálně zavražděna, zrodí se znova, jako hybrid rostliny a člověka. Už není tou, kterou bývala. Ale kým vlastně je? Na cestě za tajemstvím vlastní lidskosti (a pomstou) musí rozmotat pavučiny lží a tajemství. Začíná na chladných ulicích velkoměst a končí v srdci amazonského deštného pralesa.Černá orchidej je mistrovské dílo, které vzešlo ze spolupráce jednoho z nejlepších komiksových scenáristů a jednoho z nejvýraznějších kreslířů, geniálního Davea McKeana (Arkham: Pochmurný dům v pochmurném světě).

Jedného dňa, keď bol Neil Gaiman sám doma, jeho manželka práve niekde koncertovala, rozhodol sa, že si skráti čakanie a napíše pre ňu poviedku. Postupne však z poviedky vznikol román Oceán na konci ulice, v ktorom sa hlavný hrdina chystá na pohreb a vracia sa na miesta svojho detstva. Voľné chvíle pochmúrneho dňa vypĺňa potulkami po bývalom detskom kráľovstve. Vyberie sa až na samý koniec svojej ulice, kde ešte stále stojí farma Hempstockovcov, a stretne sa so starou pani Hempstockovou, matkou svojej kamarátky z detstva Lettie Hempstockovej, dá si čaj a odíde k jazierku s kačkami, ktorému Lettie hovorila oceán...

Den poté, co se nastěhovali do nového domu, se Koralina vydala na průzkum...V novém bytě Koralininých rodičů je dvacet jedna oken a čtrnáct dveří. Třináct z nich se dá otevírat a zavírat. Čtrnácté jsou zamčené a za nimi je jen cihlová zeď – až do chvíle, kdy je Koralina jednoho dne otevře a najde za nimi průchod do jiného bytu v jiném domě, který se tomu jejich podobá jako vejce vejci. Až na to, že je jiný: psi tady nejí nic jiného, než čokoládu, kočky umí mluvit a místo pravých ji tam přivítají jiní rodiče. Její jiná matka je navlas podobná té skutečné – až na to, že má pavoučí prsty a oči jako černé knoflíky – vaří jí samé dobroty, je na ni něžná a přemlouvá jí, aby u ní zůstala. Koralině se však stýská po pravých rodičích a chce se k nim vrátit – a tehdy se krásný sen změní ve skutečnou noční můru.

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's brilliantly dark and funny take on mankind's final judgment is back, in a new hardcover edition which includes an introduction by the authors.
