Older than humankind itself, he inhabits -- along with Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium, his Endless sisters and brothers -- the realm of human consciousness. His powers are myth and nightmare -- inspirations, pleasures, and punishments manifested beneath the blanketing mist of sleep. Surrender to him now."

Certainly dark and twisted and more than just a little bit creepy. but some of the short stories are easy enough to skip over and the ones you do get into end way to quickly, while others drag on. I kind of expected better from the guy that brought Good Omens and the Sandman comics. But then i've always been a fan of novels over short stories and so i might be a bit biased. the characters are about the best thing of this book, real and relateable even if they are freakish.
