Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

DNF at 15 %
First we are offered a massively off-putting and overinflated edgelord intro that was unnecessary in every imaginable way. I don't need trigger warnings and therefore I do not read them, not because I want to be challenged more than people who need them do but because I do not have the trauma and or experiences that they have. The apparent inability that Gaiman has to envision an experience of the world that isn't his own makes me wonder if his work was ever really as good as I thought it was or if I was just too immature and privileged to see it for what it was. The tirade is the reason I'm giving this book a 1 star rating where I would normally just not give a rating.

Then to add insult to injury we are offered a poem on the assembly of a chair followed by a pompously worded half-baked story. I couldn't be bothered to even flip to the story about American Gods which was the sole reason I decided to read that book.
