Synopsis
A collection of the Neil Gaiman's wildly popular dream-weaving series THE SANDMAN. Reproducing in full color issues #41 through #49, BRIEF LIVES is the sixth major story arc in the SANDMAN comic book series. Dream, who is mourning the end of a recent love affair, allows his insane younger sister Delirium to persuade him into accompanying her on a quest to find their brother Destruction, who abandoned his realm, his responsibilities, and their family 300 years ago. Their disastrous road trip leads them from an unusual travel agency to a strip club to a small Greek island, wreaks havoc with almost every person and being they encounter, and eventually leads Dream to make a painful and dangerous decision.

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.
