The Sandman Vol. 8: Worlds' End by Neil Gaiman
5.0
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.
