This giant collection is beautifully illustrated.
Both the prose and the graphic novel-adapted versions of The Dream Hunters were fantastic. Love how Gaimen masterfully combined a Japanese folktale with the Sandman universe. 4.6/5 stars
Endless Nights featured short stories of Dream and his siblings. Dream was of course my favorite. Death, Desire, Destruction, and Destiny were interesting. I could not read Despair or Delirium. Perhaps that was the desired (pun not intended) effect or those stories because I felt the despair and the delirium trying to read more than 2 pages. Overall, 3.6/5 stars. The Dream short story deserves a 4.7/5 stars.
I could not get into Sandman Midnight Theatre and just skipped it. I didn’t like the art style at all and it didn’t feel like a Sandman story or belonging to the Sandman universe. 0.3/5 stars.
Overall score for this collection: 4/5 stars

The stories here can actually be read separately to the main series. Yes there's added meaning if you know the characters but the tales within are completely separate and make perfect sense for new readers.
The centrepiece is the Endless Nights graphic novel which has seven stories. Each one highlights a different member of the Endless and Dream & his siblings all have a separate artist for their tales. From the sensual artwork of Milo Manara to the Bill Sienkiewicz mixed media stylings for Delirium to stunning Frank Quitely art for Destiny it's all rather wonderful. Storrey's art is rather scratchy & hideous but fits the brief for the portraits of Despair. And the writing is rather good as well.
Sandwiching the Endless Nights are the prose illustrated story of the Dream Hunters. A Japanese fairy tale of a fox & a monk which Gaiman imbues with subtle appearances from Morpheus & others. Expressive & dreamlike art by Yoshitaka Amano.
We also have the story adapted into comic book format with gorgeous art from P Craig Russell.
There are other extras including a Sandman Mystery Theatre special featuring 1930s crime fighter Wesley Dodd in his Sandman garb in a story where Morpheus makes an appearance.
A fantastic package of material and a very welcome addition to the Sandman Universe.

This was a solid collection of Sandman extras. It was cool seeing every one of cosmic siblings get their own story in Endless Nights, but I do wish that some of them were a little more story-like and involved with the being they’re about. Despair’s installment was just fifteen vignettes about despair the concept, and nothing at all about Despair the personification of the concept. Delirium’s was almost as distanced as that. Destruction’s story was a proper story, but he was barely a part of it, and as a character who’s already quite shafted in the main series, I would have liked to see it more centered on him.
I also really loved The Dream Hunters. It’s a very gripping (if melancholy) Japanese fairytale of sorts. It works both as a Sandman story and as a stand-alone story.

This is a collection of stories from the Sandman world, published I believe after the conclusion of the series as an extra deluxe edition.
It includes Sandman: Midnight Theatre, a crossover between the ‘golden age’ Sandman superhero Wesley Dodds and The Sandman (who is still imprisoned at this point), which has really nice art, but pretty is superfluous to the wider Sandman universe and Morpheus is only a cameo.
Endless Nights is then a collection of seven stories, from different times and places, each about one of the Endless. Each has a different illustrator, so the quality varies, but Delirium’s story is my personal favourite.
Sort of an odds-and-ends collection, I didn't realize the Sandman comic arc was over when I picked it up so I was a bit disappointed. There's some good stuff in here for sure but it's not as compelling as the Sandman series was (once it got rolling anyway).
