The Sandman Vol. 8: Worlds' End
by Neil Gaiman
After a brief period of disillusionment with Neil Gaiman, this restored my opinion of him. I read American Gods between the last volume of Sandman and this, and that totally killed it for me. I was not impressed, and I felt like I was able to see through Gaiman as a writer of mostly style, not much substance, in that particular novel (I hadn't been impressed by Stardust, but I hadn't been ANNOYED by it). Sandman, however, is still awesome, and this is one of the best volumes of it I've read so far. Maybe Gaiman's just more of a graphic novel guy, maybe it doesn't translate to literature, but regardless, this is worth reading.
The stories the characters tell are fantastic, particular the City Dream story and the sailor story, and Gaiman wraps up as many tales as he can into what I THINK is the shortest of the Sandman volumes. It is not at all disappointing. Check the whole series out.
