The Sandman, Vol. 7: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman

April 16, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

This one was a little bit of a let down after how much I enjoyed Vol. 6, to be honest. Although, it’s probably a good idea to take this review with a little grain of salt, because I didn’t have the best experience with the actual physical reading of it. After my library’s copy was lost (and then the library closed), and going to a bookstore and mooching off one of their copies stopped being an option, I ended up buying a copy from the […]

The stories are dying.

“It will be a very slow . . .  apocalypse. Those who live by . . . imagination . . . will feel it first. But in the end . . . without story . . . without the ability to step sideways from fact . . . into hypothesis . . . human life is untenable.” You could be forgiven for thinking that after the max craziness of the last volume, where seemingly all the story-lines ended in a whiz bang of revelations and violence and […]

    Yes, I am fun at parties. I too like parties where discussions on hierarchy and oppression abound!

    I love this series so much. It is ridiculous and defies serious reviewing. It’s got a lot of flaws and...
