![]() He warned us readers (or listeners in this case) that what we were about to read would likely disturb us. Gaiman gave a perfect introduction into this collection, explaining how he’d come to discover the term “trigger warning.” He conceded that, while trigger warnings may be well intentioned, sometimes we need to read things that make us uncomfortable, that force us to ponder imponderable things, see the world in darker hues. So I placed the charts on a table, plugged in my earbuds, and I began to listen. I was preparing myself for another boring day of organizing charts upstairs at the dermatology clinic where I worked and I needed something to listen to in order to keep the monotony from reducing my brain to yogurt. His dulcet tones and faint English accent make him a perfect narrator. Not only am I a fan of Gaiman’s writing, I am also a big fan of his narration. When I purchased the audiobook for Neil Gaiman’s book on short stories I was very excited. Perhaps I’m just whingeing over semantics here, but I had to get this off my chest. ![]()
