With The Sandman heading to Netflix, this deluxe edition hardcover
collects Neil Gaiman's solo stories of the series' most beloved
character, Death!
From the pages of Newbery Medal-winner Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comes
fan-favorite character Death in a collection of her solo adventures!
The first story introduces the young, pale, perky, and genuinely likable
Death. One day in every century, Death walks the earth to better
understand those to whom she will be the final visitor. Today is that
day. As a young mortal girl named Didi, Death befriends a teenager and
helps a 250-year-old homeless woman find her missing heart. What follows
is a sincere musing on love, life, and (of course) death.
In the second story, a rising star in the music world wrestles with
revealing her true sexual orientation, just as her lover is lured into
the realm of Death, where Death herself should make an appearance. A
practical, honest, and intelligent story that illuminates "the miracle
of death."
Plus, Death's first appearance from The Sandman series, her tale from
The Sandman: Endless Nights, and much more!
With The Sandman television adaptation debuting on Netflix, and the
audio drama unfolding on Audible, explore the comic book classics that
started it all! Collects Death: The High Cost of Living #1-3, Death:
The Time of Your Life #1-3, the "Death Talks about Life" AIDS
pamphlet, stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #2 and The Sandman:
