He has a watch that stops time, a la John D. MacDonald’s “The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything.” That’s how I figure it, and we’re the beneficiaries.

Spring-heel boots, eh? Is that a ref to Elder Scrolls or the Victorian London bogeyman? Seems Spring-heeled Jack was a euphemism for the devil, and perhaps a nickname for Jack the Ripper. I’m thinking someone already wrote a story featuring such a character, but no titles or names come to mind. Hmm.

Is it true that “trigger warning” is the new way to say “offensive to twits?”

I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to Neil Gaiman?

as much as i find trigger warning annoying an winny . atlanta burns has good reason to include them, rape, sexual abuse, drug abuse, general abuse, sever bullying/torture and all that good stuff.
i struggled through the book because it was filled with that dark stuff. great read tho.

There’s a difference between a trigger warning (i.e. mentions of rape, abuse, etc) and a “trigger warning” (i.e. “this makes me vaguely uncomfortable”). I think with Atlanta Burns he definitely means the real trigger warning!
