One of the most interesting side characters while I was reading the Sandman series was his sister, Death. This book collects a couple installments from the Sandman and has some others as well. From Sandman, the issues 'The Sound of Her Wings,' 'Façade,' and 'Death and Venice.' Then it had two miniseries 'The High Cost of Living' and 'The Time of Your Life.' Finally, a couple short stories are sprinkled in there: 'A Winter's Tale,' 'The Wheel,' and 'Death Talks About Life.'
I'm not going to go through and explain the plots of all of these unconnected stories. There's a reason I gravitate toward this particular character, and it's because Gaiman has some interesting things to say about life and death. He reminds me of things I'd forgotten or started taking for granted. And the stories are so unique. The man is talented. There's not much else to say. Good Book!
