This volume is just WOW! It's so fantastically morbid and creepy. Deserved every inch of the five stars.
Very little to do with the real story line of Sandman, but I really enjoyed the diversion.
Another excellent volume by [a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]. My partner has told me that another comic book series that he reads, [b:House of Mystery, Vol. 1: Room and Boredom|3754399|House of Mystery, Vol. 1 Room and Boredom|Matthew Sturges|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320519139s/3754399.jpg|3798263], seems to be based on this edition of Sandman, and I have to agree.
Of the tales that were told, I think the one about the sleeping cities is what I enjoyed the most. Also the story of Prez, the youngest president, was interesting with Boss Smiley. And then there was the story of the young woman on the Sea Witch... and the idea that the fruit of life was eaten by the Indian man aboard the ship.
This story is slightly askew of the main Sandman plot, but it's still part of the lore.

Neil Gaiman brilliantly intertwines a new mythology of The Endless with mythologies from all over the world.

An interesting nesting-box of stories, one within another within another and so on. Loved the varying art styles.
