Only Neil Gaiman would describe a giant sea snake as “a massive dick”

Least fave so far I think. Hard to get through.

The story of the necropolis was my favorite, although there is some good stuff here.
Reread 2022: A series of stories told at The World’s End during a reality storm. Beings from many different worlds all come together to share the shelter and tell stories to pass the time. Stories about a dreaming city, about a necropolis where they care for all the dead, about faerie politics, about pirates and sea serpents, and about an unimpeachable president and the boss of the world. Underlying a lot of these stories is the Sandman, king of dreams and stories. I love that the series as a whole embraces and showcases storytelling and the importance of stories to our lives.

Gaiman at his most verbose with neither much happening nor characters you care about.

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.

"La pompa de la muerte es para los vivos. Es la reconciliación final. El último adiós."
Y esa "great gig in the sky" que me dio escalofríos.
