We need to help protect Delirium at all costs. Also someone please give Despair a hug, she really deserves one.

I was quite disappointed with the stories in this book ngl. I think the illustration is quite staggering and definitely over shadows the mediocre-ness of the stories!

This collection has seven stories, focused on each of the Endless seven: Dream, Death, Desire, Destiny, Despair, Delirium, and Destruction. I especially liked Desire, Despair, and Delirium. Would be confusing if you haven't read The Sandman first, though.

This was a 5 star book for me for a long time until it turned out the author was a garbage human. He's not the only person who worked on this book, though, since it involved an artist, letterers, colorists, etc, so I won't sell it or knock it down to 1 star. Those other people don't deserve to have their part of the work ruined by him.

I enjoyed the tales of each of the Endless siblings. Despair's chapter had me say out loud, twice, "DAMN, NEIL!"

Gaiman can add to the Sandman canon as much as he wants. Love this series.

This book reinvigorated my love for reading graphic novels this year. Neil Gaiman's writing speaks to me, and these vignettes are powerful, intriguing and absolutely beautiful. The art alone in Despair's portraits is all-time amazing, and the lettering work in Delirium's world was awe-inspiring.

Writer Neil Gaiman collaborates with seven different artists to create seven distinctly different stand-alone stories about Morpheus ("Dream") and his sisters and brothers, The Endless: Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction, and Destiny.
While it would help to understand the background of the "Sandman" series of graphic novels, most of the stories stand well on their own as fantasies or fairy tales.
My favorite story is "Desire" -- a passionate and romantic tale with art by Milo Manara.
