Trigger Warning (book)
Trigger Warning is a collection of short fiction and verse by Neil Gaiman. It was first published in the United States in 2015 by HarperCollins Publishers. The title is a reference to the concept of trigger warnings, originally intended to warn survivors of sexual abuse or other trauma about potentially graphic content, and its recent prominence in contemporary discourse. In his introduction to the book, Neil Gaiman considers the question of whether stories should be considered "safe spaces," and, concluding that they should not, warns readers that the stories in this collection may disturb them.[1][2][3]
