Una antología que concentra todo el potencial fantasioso y onírico de Gaiman: historias de terror y de fantasmas, ficción especulativa y cuentos de hadas, fábulas perversas y versos sorprendentes. Con una enorme legión de fieles lectores en todo el mundo, Neil Gaiman está considerado uno de los escritores de imaginación más fértil y perturbadora de la actualidad. Como es característico en él, el mundo sensible no es más que un mero velo o una ilusión tras la cual se despliega un sinfín de realidades paralelas y mundos alternativos, casi siempre amenazantes y ominosos. En la mente creativa de Gaiman, todo es posible: laberintos lunares, amigos imaginarios de carne y hueso, iglús fabricados con libros, piratas muy peculiares, caseras asesinas, objetos hechizados, tarjetas de felicitación que alteran el espacio-tiempo... Un muestrario de circunstancias singulares que confieren a los protagonistas un abanico de experiencias capaces de revelarles conocimiento de sí mismos y emociones que ni siquiera sospechaban poseer. Así pues, al lector le aguarda un viaje literario en el que frotarse los ojos y padecer escalofríos, maravillarse y quedar noqueado por el genio de un escritor sofisticado que nos embelesa con sus hechizos y nos traslada a lo más profundo de un país inexplorado donde lo fantástico se hace realidad y lo cotidiano es incandescente. Material sensible incluye un relato inédito de American Gods -«Black Dog»-, otro escrito para conmemorar el cincuenta aniversario de Doctor Who -«Las nada en punto»- y una ingeniosísima vuelta de tuerca al universo de Sherlock Holmes, «El caso de la muerte y la miel». La crítica ha dicho... «Material sensible sirve en bandeja a los fans de Gaiman todo aquello que adoran. Por sus páginas discurren todo tipo de brujas, monstruos y criaturas de la noche. Una colección de relatos que satisfará a sus fieles seguidores y que le granjeará nuevos acólitos, si es queda a quien por convencer.» Kirkus Reviews «Material sensible pone de manifiesto la amplitud y profundidaddel talento de Gaiman, así como esa importante calidez que aporta al género fantástico. Jamás decepciona.» Financial Times «Cada uno de los relatos está narrado con la seguridad y la maestría de alguien capazde contentar a quienes echan de menos la posibilidad de hallar un nuevo título de Ray Bradbury en las librerías.» Newsday «Gaiman se confirma como una de las voces más genuinas del universo fantástico actual.» Locus narrativa 6 «Su mente es un océano oscuro e insondable. Cada vez que me sumerjo en él, este mundo desaparecepara ser reemplazado por otro mucho más terrible y bello en el que gustosamente me ahogaría.» New York Times Book Review

En las manos maestras de Neil Gaiman, la magia es mucho más que un mero juego de engaños... Una recopilación de treinta relatos, poemas narrativos y piezas breves componen esta maravillosa novela de fantasía e ilusiones. La destreza y el poder de invención de este gran fabulador transforman el entorno cotidiano en un mundo hechizado por sucesos sombríos y extraños, en el que una anciana puede comprar el Santo Grial en una tienda de segunda mano, unos asesinos se anuncian en los clasificados de un periódico bajo la rúbrica «CONTROL DE PLAGAS», o un muchacho asustado debe negociar con un trol malcarado y mezquino que vive bajo un puente ferroviario. Esta recopilación de treinta relatos, poemas narrativos y piezas breves e inclasificables ofrece múltiples y variadas posibilidades para que el lector explore una realidad transformada, astutamente velada por el humo y las sombras, a la vez que tangible y afilada. Todo parece posible en el universo de Gaiman, el gran maestro prestidigitador que despierta los sentidos, cautiva los sueños y mantiene en vilo nuestra mente. La crítica ha dicho... «Antiguas leyendas a las que ha dado un vuelco ingenioso se combinan con espeluznantes atisbos de lo imposible, para formar esta impresionante colección de relatos y poemas.» Publisher's Weekly «Gaiman es una mina de historias. Debemos sentirnos afortunados, escriba en el género que escriba.» Stephen King «Soberbio, [...] evocador [...] y a menudo ingenioso y perversamente divertido. En el mundo de Gaiman, nuestros sueños más sencillos son, en realidad, nuestras elucubraciones más complejas.» Richmond Times-Dispatch «Gaiman es capaz de helarnos la sangre o hacer que soltemos una carcajada.» Minneapolis Star Tribune «Neil Gaiman escribe en tantos estilos y combinaciones de estilos que es difícil clasificar su obra con una sola palabra. Unos la consideran 'fantasy', otros 'terror', otros 'ciencia ficción' o 'ficción especulativa'. Gaiman escribe igual de bien en cada uno de estos géneros. [...] Una cosa sí puede afirmarse sin lugar a dudas: en plena forma, Gaiman es magnífico.» Baltimore Sun «Gaiman es un contador de historias visionario [...] en muchos aspectos, un contador de historias de otra época, no sólo esa voz implacable que nos habla con un susurro sobre los horrores que hay más allá del círculo de luz de la hoguera. También es un escritor desesperadamente pasado de moda, capaz de crear narraciones breves trepidantes, cautivadoras, que logran satisfacer al lector, algo cada vez más raro fuera de la narrativa de género.» Toronto Star «Una caja de bombones para los amantes de la fantasía oscura.» Booklist

Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances
Multiple award winning, #1 New York 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," written exclusively for this volume. In this new anthology, 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 "Black Dog," a new tale that revisits the world of American Gods, exclusive to this collection. Trigger Warning explores the masks we all wear and the people we are beneath them to reveal our vulnerabilities and our truest selves. Here is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghosts stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that explore 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 sophisticated 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. Full of wonder and terror, surprises and amusements, Trigger Warning is a treasury of delights that engage the mind, stir the heart, and shake the soul from one of the most unique and popular literary artists of our day.

An enthralling collection of nonfiction pieces on myriad topics-from art and artists to dreams, myths, and memories to comics, films, and literature-observed in award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman's probing, amusing, and distinctive style. As Neil explains, "This book is not 'the complete nonfiction of Neil Gaiman.' It is, instead, a motley bunch of speeches and articles, introductions and essays. Some of them are serious and some of them are frivolous and some of them are earnest and some of them I wrote to try and make people listen." Illuminating and incisive, witty and wise, The View from the Cheap Seats explores some of the issues, subjects, and people that matter most to Neil Gaiman-and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of the most beloved and influential writers of our time.
