Synopsis
A collection of the Neil Gaiman's wildly popular dream-weaving series THE SANDMAN.
This graphic novel collects the fourth major story arc of the SANDMAN comic book series, issues 21 through 28. Realizing that condemning his lover Nada to Hell 10,000 years ago was perhaps not the most courteous response to her rejection of him, Dream decides to return to Hell to free her. When he arrives there, Lucifer, King of Hell, announces his decision to abdicate, empties Hell, locks all its gates, and hands the Key to Hell to Dream. Now, a host of assorted deities and other otherworldly entities are turning up in Dream's realm, hoping to persuade, bribe, or coerce him into giving the Key, and thus the rule of Hell, to them. Meanwhile, the multitudes of damned souls, freed from Hell, are turning up on Earth. This story arc is particularly important because it introduces one of the main themes of the series, which is that while other characters embrace the possibility of change, of reinventing themselves, Dream is incapable of following suit, although on some level, he clearly wants to. To do so would mean abandoning his responsibilities and that would be inconceivable for him--a point of view which has tragic consequences later in the series.

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.
