I’ve been a fan of
Neil Gaiman’s writing since my early teens. Surprisingly, I discovered him
through his novels and not his comic book work. I say it’s surprising since I
fell into the world of American comics in just a couple years later. No matter,
I’ve followed him across genres since I first finished American Gods and I’ll continue to read anything I come across that
has his name on it. I’ve rarely been disappointed by this decision.
Sadly, as life
takes it course you sometimes find yourself with a shortage of spare time. When
that happens, things like picking up any new book by a favourite author don’t
always happen as planned. It’s for that reason that I’m only reading Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and
Disturbances now. I’ll be reviewing each story and poem here as a series of
post for Short Story Sunday. This is the first one of these posts.
