Synopsis
A collection of the Neil Gaiman's wildly popular dream-weaving series THE SANDMAN.
Collecting issues #57 through #69 in full color, this graphic novel represents the climactic story arc of the series. Years ago, Dream of the Endless told ex-superhero Hippolyta Hall that her then-unborn child belonged to him. So naturally, when her young son Daniel disappears under mysterious circumstances, Lyta believes (incorrectly) that Dream is responsible. Her quest for revenge brings her to the attention of the Furies, the three-in-one deity known for her/their inexorable and inexhaustible pursuit of their lawful prey--those who slay their own kin. As events progress to their inevitable, tragic conclusion, the reader realizes that the seeds for what occurs were actually planted in issue #1, a tribute to writer Neil Gaiman's careful, intricate plotting of the series. The artist for this story arc, Marc Hempel, draws his characters as angular figures with strong, spiky outlines, a discordant style that underscores the emotionally wrenching tale that unfolds.

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.
