One of the better of these editions. Interestingly, not too much sandman involvement, but the stories and the art really were enjoyable. I like how Gaiman can add quirk and interest to a story with simple twists and tugs. The varied backgrounds and illusions that he throws into this edition really make the stories within the larger story (within the larger series) pop.

Man. This is where Gaiman shines.
An in where the end of every world meets. And people from multiple worlds telling short stories and spinning short yarns about people telling stories about people telling stories. It's haunting and curious and wild and mythic and everything that makes Gaiman great.
The best of Sandman is this sort of story. The worst is how threadbare the metanarrative is. He's meta without metanarrative. I see that as a problem, actually.
But it's not in this volume. This volume I loved.
