I would have given this six stars if I could. If you're a Sandman fan, this is a must read book.

Endless Nights ist eine Zusammenstellung von sieben Geschichten. Jede widmet sicheinem der Endless. Das ist vor allen Dingen bei denen interessant, die in der Hauptgeschichte eine eher untergeordnete Rolle spielen.
Die meisten der Geschichten sind relativ einfach gehalten. Die Bände um Despair und Delirium dagegen sind stark experimentell. Insgesamt eine interessante Erweiterung des bestehenden Universums.

Сборник разномастных историй из разряда hit or miss - половина попадает в настроение, половина вообще не вызывает никаких эмоций. Но прочитать стоит хотя бы ради калейдоскопа разных стилей арта. Хотя и тут не без "но" -как по мне так старый проблематичный эротоман Мило Манара был лишним даже в истории про Страсть. Может с другим художником история выглядела бы поинтереснее.
2,5* плюс еще ползвезды за Счастье.

After a few years away from the characters, Neil Gaiman returned to the Sandman with this graphic novel consisting of seven short stories, one for each of the Endless. Although not required reading for the larger story of the Sandman, it's still a powerful piece of work, with new insight into the history of Dream and Desire, a clever science fiction yarn of destruction, and the tale of a man trying to escape Death by manipulating time standing out as highlights. Again, Gaiman ties his world into the greater DC Universe, and again, he crafts more facets to that world than any dozen other writers would dream of.
A nice follow-up to Sandman about the family of the Endless. Answers some things, creates more new questions.
Holy shit, what a great book. The Despair story was particularly good in a McKean-ish way.
