Jeden Donnerstag ging Mrs. Whitaker zuerst zur Post, um ihren Pensionsscheck abzuholen, und danach zum Oxfam-Shop, um ein bisschen zu stöbern. An jenem Tag fand sie zwei alte Taschenbücher und den Heiligen Gral und kaufte alles zusammen für 40 Pence. Danach ging sie zum Metzger und kaufte ein schönes Stück Leber fürs Dinner. Mrs. Whitaker stellte den Gral auf ihren Kaminsims, zwischen die Figurine des Bassets mit den treuen Augen und das Foto ihres verstorbenen Ehemannes Henry, denn da machte er sich gut. Sie staunt nicht schlecht, als am nächsten Tag der edle Galaad in strahlender Rüstung vor ihrer Tür steht, um seine Queste, die Suche nach dem Sang Real, endlich abzuschließen. Glücklicherweise ist eine britische Dame nicht so leicht aus der Ruhe zu bringen. Diese herrlich absurde Kurzgeschichte von Bestsellerautor Neil Gaiman (»American Gods«, »Sandman«) beantwortet die Frage, die uns allen schon immer unter den Nägeln brannte: Was wäre, wenn das heiligste Artefakt der Christenheit in den Besitz einer alten britischen Witwe geräte? Die unvergleichliche Illustratorin Colleen Doran (»Snow, Glass, Apples«) findet für Gaimans unbestechlich komische Prosa wunderschöne Bilder, die zwischen Opulenz und Banalität jeden Ton treffen.

Jak získal Thor své proslavené kladivo Mjölnir? Kolik světů spojuje vždyzelený jasan Yggdrasil? Kdo postavil zeď kolem Ásgardu a co bude následovat po konci světa zvaném Ragnarök? Severská mytologie převyprávěná Neilem Gaimanem nejenže odpovídá na všechny tyto otázky, ale navíc je váže do souvislého, obšírného vyprávění, v němž ožívají bohové i obři, medovina teče proudem, vlci mluví a jabloně rodí jablka nesmrtelnosti. Naprosto nepostradatelná kniha pro všechny milovníky severských mýtů, seriálu Američtí bohové i tvorby Neila Gaimana obecně.
„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 mysl, sevřou u srdce a zatřesou s duší.
