Neil Gaiman

Joined by a dream team of artists from around the world, Neil Gaimanthe Hugo Award-winning, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of AMERICAN GODS and CORALINEreturns to the beloved characters he made famous in THE SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS. Alternately haunting, bittersweet, erotic and nightmarish, the seven stories in this bookone for each of the Endless siblings, each illustrated by a different artistreveal strange secrets and surprising truths. In addition to the seven tales of the Endless, THE SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS includes a biography section in the spirit of the Sandman collections (designed by Dave McKean) and a summary of each volume in the Sandman Library.

The Sandman: Endless Nights

He is holding a book. Inside the book is the Universe. 

The wish and the thing are so close in the realm of the Endless that you cannot get a thin-bladed knife between them. 

I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence. 

Go back to sleep, my daughter. Rest a while... sleep until life wakes you. 

"It's up to the planets themselves. None of them have woken yet."

"Yes. Their dreams are very lonely, and beautiful." 

I should warn you, getting what you want and being happy are two quite different things. 

You are time. Foul time, who steals the gold from a maiden's hair and takes the sapphire from a child's eyes. Dark time, who has stolen from everything there ever was the things that it held precious and divine, and left nothing but memories and ashes and the grave. 

Endless Nights distills the very essence of the Sandman into a collection of mythologies. The powerful stories that read like folk tales pair perfectly with beautiful artwork from a range of artists. I wish I was able to highlight panels of art as well as quotes, because some of it is just unbelievably gorgeous. The Heart of a Star is particularly notable, but the whole novel is just exceptional, and well deserving of its accolades.
