4.0

Where Vol. 7 was a story on The Endless themselves, this volume goes back to featuring them sporadically. It centers around a Reality Storm that strands folks from all realms (humans, faeries, centaurs) at in Inn called World's End. In the grand tradition of Canterbury Tales, the story is a story about stories. Sometimes there's a story within the story that is being told.

The stories include:

A city dreaming.
A faerie sent by Queen Mad to ensure a unification of cities doesn't happen.
A town made up of, essentially, undertakers.

Really good stuff here. I didn't catch nearly all the allusions. Gaiman is a well read fellow.
