Alternately haunting, bittersweet, erotic and nightmarish, the seven stories in this book - one for each of the Endless siblings, each illustrated by one of the best artists in comics - reveal strange secrets and surprising truths. Now collected as the eleventh volume in Neil Gaiman's seminal, New York Times best-selling series, The Sandman Vol. 11: Endless Nights, celebrates its 30th anniversary with an all-new edition!
Joined by a dream team of artists from around the world, Neil Gaiman - the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of American Gods and Coraline - returns to the beloved characters he made famous in The Sandman.
The Sandman Vol. 11: Endless Nights reveals the legend of the Endless, a family of magical and mythical beings who exist and interact in the real world. Born at the beginning of time, Destiny, Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delirium, and Destruction are seven brothers and sisters who each lord over their respective realms. In addition to the seven tales of the Endless, The Sandman: Endless Nights includes a biography section in the spirit of the Sandman collections (designed by Dave McKean) and a summary of each volume in the Sandman Library.
This highly imaginative book, the first graphic novel to be listed on the New York Times best-seller list, boasts diverse styles of breath-taking art as these seven peculiar and powerful siblings each reveal more about their true being as they star in their own tales of curiosity and wonder. Written by series creator Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: Endless Nights is illustrated by some of the industry's best talents, including Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman), P. Craig Russell (The Sandman: The Dream Hunters), Glenn Fabry (Preacher), Bill Sienkiewicz (Elektra) and more!
