Trigger warning : short fictions & disturbances

From one of the most acclaimed storytellers of our time comes a major new collection of stories and verse. Neil Gaiman explores the transformative power of imagination in this remarkable compendium of twenty-five stories and poems. In "Adventure Story," a thematic companion to his bestselling novel, he reflects on death and the stories we carry with us. "A Calendar of Tales" features short pieces about the months of the year, including tales of pirates, March winds, and a Mother's Day card that hints at cosmic disturbances. Gaiman offers a unique twist on Sherlock Holmes in the award-nominated "The Case of Death and Honey." The collection also includes "Nothing O'Clock," a special Doctor Who story written for the series in 2013, and the never-before-published "Black Dog," a haunting tale revisiting the world of American Gods, where Shadow Moon stops at a village pub on his way back to America. Gaiman's literary alchemy transports readers to an undiscovered country where the fantastical becomes real and the everyday is incandescent. Filled with wonder, terror, surprises, and amusements, this collection engages the mind, stirs the heart, and shakes the soul.
