Tornado Alley is a collection of short stories and one poem by Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs, written during the later years of his career and first published in 1989. The first edition of the book included illustrations by S. Clay Wilson. Notable pieces in the collection include the poem "Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, 1986" and the crime melodrama "Where He Was Going", both of which appear on the album Dead City Radio. The latter was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro". The collection is dedicated to John Dillinger, "in hope that he is still alive".
