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.

Notable pieces in the collection include the poem "Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, 1986" and the crime melodrama "Where He Was Going", both of which are read by Burroughs on his album Dead City Radio.

According to Burroughs in his spoken introduction to "Where He Was Going" on the album, the latter was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" with the title a quotation from the earlier story.

William Edward Hummel described Tornado Alley as "rife with conflicts over race and sexual identity," in a way that "illustrates how a 'minority' subject-position is not synonymous with heightened political or moral consciousness.

"[1] The stories depict interwoven crimes perpetrated both by and against members of various marginalized communities, muddling distinctions between innocence and guilt.
