  <default_description>The third volume collecting Neil Gaiman's seminal, award-winning series starring the Dream King in deluxe format. &lt;P&gt; ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 3 presents  several key SANDMAN tales in a slipcased hardcover edition, including &quot;Brief Lives,&quot; in which the Sandman's sister Delirium  prevails upon her older brother to help her find their missing sibling, Destruction.  But their journey through the Waking World has dramatic repercussions for their family and also for the relationship between the Sandman and his wayward son, Orpheus.   &lt;P&gt; Also included is the spectacular short story &quot;Ramadan,&quot; a tale of a young king of ancient Baghdad and the deal he strikes with The Sandman to grant his city immortality, with spectacular illustrations by P. Craig Russell (Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, The Jungle Book).</default_description>

To not abandon delirium is to not abandon the realm, which leaves only one possibility -- to be destroyed, rather than to follow destruction.
