Synopsis
A collection of the Neil Gaiman's wildly popular dream-weaving series THE SANDMAN., This graphic novel reproduces, in full color, the complete second story arc of the SANDMAN series--issues #9 through #16. After his long imprisonment by humans, Dream has almost completed the repair of his neglected realm, the world of dream and nightmare. But some of his subjects are still missing, and locating them requires the anthropomorphic personification to travel to the mind of an abused boy, a Georgia motel hosting a serial killers' convention, and a Florida boardinghouse--the temporary home of a young woman who has the power to destroy the barriers between dreaming minds. In addition, the reader is introduced to recurring character Hob Gadling, a man who refuses to die, and therefore has not done so in the past 600 years. As in the previous collection, both the text and art of this consistently compelling story are beautiful in some places and quite shockingly grotesque in others.

Industry Reviews
"Fancy unleashed on rags of moonlight....a top-flight fantasy collection."
Kirkus Reviews (07/01/1996)
This anthology features stories about The Sandman, DC Comics' best-selling adult graphic novel by Neil Gaiman. Clive Barker wrote the frontispiece (not seen), and singer Tori Amos contributed the afterword. The 18 mainstream writers expand and elaborate the Sandman mythos. Readers don't need a familiarity with the Sandman comic to appreciate these stories. Recommended for short story collections.
Breitman
Though he won the World Fantasy Award for Short Fiction in 1991, Gaiman is best known as the writer who transformed the WWII-era DC Comics character the Sandman from a Batman-style detective/vigilante into the much darker Morpheus, aka Dream, the being who presides over the realm of Dreaming. One of seven siblings who represent various states of consciousness Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair, Dream and Delirium Morpheus is head of the allegorical family called the Endless. Here, popular fantasy writers expand upon Gaiman's original concepts, with mixed results. Colin Greenland's bittersweet "Masquerade and High Water" and Barbara Hambly's "Each Damp Thing" provide insights into the backstage workings of the Endless. Tad Williams's "The Writer's Child" is a finely crafted story about loyalty and the value of innocence. Weak spots include George Alec Effinger's resurrection of a saccharine Little Nemo for "Seven Nights in Slumberland," Lisa Goldstein's bland "Stronger Than Desire" and B.W. Clough's vignette "The Birth Day." Susanna Clarke's "Stopp't-Clock Yard" and a lyrical meditation on Death by songwriter Tori Amos close the anthology on a strong note; a b&w drawing by Clive Barker opens it on a garish one. Though perhaps most interesting as an example of media-crossover, this collection presents some powerful writing about, and memorable images of, the other reality wherein we while away a third of our lives.
