A humble young monk and a magical, shape-changing fox find themselves
romantically drawn together. As their love blooms, the fox learns of a
devilish plot by a group of demons and a Japanese emperor to steal the
monk's life.
One of the most popular and critically acclaimed graphic novels of all
time, Neil Gaiman's award-winning masterpiece The Sandman set the
standard for mature, lyrical fantasy in the modern comics era.
Illustrated by an exemplary selection of the medium's most gifted
artists, the series is a rich blend of modern and ancient mythology in
which contemporary fiction, historical drama, and legend are seamlessly
interwoven.
In The Dream Hunters, Gaiman and acclaimed artist Yoshitaka Amano
collaborate to reveal a haunting new aspect of the Dream King. Words and
paintings combine in this illuminated fable of ancient Japan, spinning
an ageless story of a humble young monk and the magical fox who falls in
love with him. Threatened by a dark prophecy, the fox and the monk each
call for aid from the Mikado of All Night's Dreaming, whose intervention
transports their tale of love and sacrifice into the immortal realm of
the Endless.
The Sandman: Dream Hunters 30th Anniversary Edition (Prose Version)
collects Neil Gaiman's original prose novella illustrated by Yoshitaka
Amano.
