Here they wait out the storm and listen to stories from the many travelers also stuck at this tavern. These tales exemplify Neil Gaiman's gift for storytelling--and his love for the very telling of them. This volume has almost nothing to do with the larger story of the Sandman, except for a brief foreshadowing nod. It's a nice companion to the best Sandman short story collection, <I>Dream Country</I>, (and it's much better than the hodgepodge <I>Fables and Reflections</I>). <I>World's End</I> works best <i>as</i> a collection--it's a story about a story about stories--all wrapped up in a structure that's clever without being cute, and which features an ending nothing short of spectacular. --<I>Jim Pascoe</I> 1009277 1995 The Sandman Vol. 8: Worlds' End total:5823|5:119|4:58|3:12|2:1|1:0| 5823 25920 7107 91 2 1 false false Wed Jan 28 15:44:34 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 13:49:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Sep 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 14:46:19 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 09:01:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 07:36:41 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 08:08:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Apr 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 08:10:57 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 07:23:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 14:55:20 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 14:56:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 12:28:32 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 12:28:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Dec 30 09:00:02 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 12:50:28 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 09:00:02 -0800 2008 Sandman series is about travelers who are stranded at the World's End Inn and some of the guests include...more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Apr 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 10:28:22 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 18:42:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 08:24:24 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 06:43:46 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false true Mon Nov 24 23:07:55 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 23:11:36 -0800 2008 a lot Anyway, I like the stories where the Endless are side characters.

I don't know what to make of this yet. I didn't realize it was number 8 of a series, and I am almost heartbroken to learn that, although it makes a huge amount of sense. I am going to process this for a while.
