From #1 New York Times bestselling author and true crime icon Ann Rule, the cases in this collection grapple with murder, false identity, and much more. In some murder cases, the truth behind the most tragic of crimes crystallizes with relative ease.

„My všichni máme svoje malé spouště… věci, které na nás čekají v temných chodbách našich životů,“ píše Neil Gaiman v úvodu Předběžného varování, pozoruhodného kompendia pětadvaceti povídek a básní, ve kterých zkoumá transformativní moc imaginace. V povídce "Dobrodružný příběh" – jistým způsobem spřízněné s knihou Oceán na konci uličky – se Gaiman zamýšlí nad smrtí a jak si lidé berou svoje příběhy s sebou, když umírají. „Kalendář příběhů“ je sestaven z minipovídek o měsících v roce – příběh pirátky a březnových větrů, iglú postaveného z knih a pohlednice ke Dni matek, která způsobí poruchu ve vesmíru. V povídce „Případ smrti a medu“ nabízí Gaiman možnost podívat se na legendárního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese trochu jinak. Ve sbírce najdete také „Bezčasí“, velice zvláštní příběh napsáný v roce 2013 pro oblíbený seriál Pán času, stejně jako dosud nepublikovaný příběh ze světa Amerických bohů „Černý pes“ o tom, co se stalo, když se Stín cestou zpátky do Ameriky zastavil v jedné vesnické hospodě. Gaiman, kreativní spisovatel s nenapodobitelným tvůrčím géniem, nás pomocí své literární alchymie přenáší hluboko do neprobádané země, kde se fantastické stává skutečným a každodenní jasně žhne. Předběžné varování, plné divů a hrůz, překvapení a pobavení, je pokladnice literárních požitků, které zaměstnají ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Krutý sever zabydleli drsní bohové, kteří neváhali stvořit svět z mrtvého obra – z jeho masa se stala hlína, z kostí vznikly hory, krev a pot se proměnily v moře. Patří mezi ně mocný Ódin se svými dvěma havrany, přímý a dobromyslný hromovládce Tór, lstivý Loki a mnoho dalších, kteří obývají světy stromu Yggdrasil a očekávají neúprosně se blížící ragnarök, tedy soudný den. „To je radost z mýtů. Zábava nastává, když je vyprávíte sami – což je něco, co vám vřele doporučuji. A pak jednoho temného, mrazivého zimního večera nebo o letní noci, kdy slunce ne a ne zapadnout, vyprávějte svým přátelům, co se stalo, když Tórovi ukradli kladivo, nebo jak Ódin získal pro bohy básnickou medovinu…“ – Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman Vystudovaného novináře proslavily scénáře k dnes už kultovnímu komiksu Sandman, který vycházel od roku 1989 a na kterém spolupracoval s řadou výtvarníků, protože každý příběh série má svůj osobitý styl.

Díky tomu zážitku vznikl text Postřehy z poslední řady, který později propůjčil název sbírce projevů, esejů, úvah a sloupků. Gaiman v tomto souboru dokazuje, že se bravurně orientuje nejen ve sci-fi, fantasy a komiksu, ale také v hudbě, politice, literatuře a umění obecně. Posaďte se s Neilem Gaimanem do poslední řady a nechte si vyprávět o pohádkách, Batmanovi a H. P. Lovecraftovi, ale také o Douglasu Adamsovi, Tori Amos nebo nově se rodící americké mytologii.

Los Angeles Times "Tato sbírka naprosto jasně dokazuje, že Gaiman je nejen vynikající prozaik a komiksový autor, ale také nedostižný esejista."
