Lot of death in this book. Ground up in the dirt, walled into caves, weighted down and thrown into the endless ocean. And a few heroes � Sherlock Holmes, The Doctor, Snow White, Shadow � who each defeat it a time or two. Also an evil that wears the face of Margaret Thatcher. Shudder.

Goes from before the Big Bang to after the death of the Earth.

Would have made a great bus book if I could have endured so long.

Neil Gaiman
“There are things that wait for us, patiently, in the dark corridors of our lives. We think we have moved on, put them out of mind, left them to desiccate and shrivel and blow away; but we are wrong. They have been waiting there in the darkness, working out, practicing their most vicious blows, their sharp hard thoughtless punches into the gut, killing time until we came back that way.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“I am not scared of bad people, of wicked evildoers, of monsters and creatures of the night. The people who scare me are the ones who are certain of their own rightness. The ones who know how to behave, and what their neighbors need to do to be on the side of the good.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“Now all we have to worry about is all the other books, and, of course, life, which is huge and complicated and will not warn you before it hurts you.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“ourselves in those moments, where the trigger has been squeezed, is this: the past is not dead. There are things that wait for us, patiently, in the dark corridors of our lives. We think we have moved on, put them out of mind, left them to desiccate and shrivel and blow away; but we are wrong. They have been waiting there in the darkness, working out, practicing their most vicious blows, their sharp hard thoughtless punches into the gut, killing time until we came back that way.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“The old religion is what gets the crops up and keeps your cock hard and makes sure that nobody builds a bloody great motorway through an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Gateway stands, and the hill stands, and the place stands. It’s well, well over two thousand years old. You don’t go mucking about with anything that powerful.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“Thank you for coming. Enjoy the things that never happened. Secure your own mask again after you read these stories, but do not forget to help others.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“And once I am there, I shall seek out Watson, if he still lives—and I fancy he does. It is irrational, I acknowledge, and yet I am certain that I would know, somehow, had Watson passed beyond the veil.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“THE LITTLE MAN HURRIED into the Fountain and ordered a very large whisky. “Because,â€� he announced to the pub in general, “I deserve it.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“He was drowning in the Time, could feel it crushing him, like an ancient forest being crushed into oil.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“You never forget. It must be somewhere inside you. Even if the brain has forgotten, perhaps the teeth remember. Or the fingers.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

Neil Gaiman
“I will not be my father's dog.”
