One-shot stories. To be read after The Wake.
At the borders of the Dreaming, places that never existed meet in the not-quite-real. In one of these soft places, questions are answered and one last story is played out between the new Sandman, Daniel, and the freshly buried Lord of Dreams.
In this final tale of The Sandman, Morpheus collects the last part of the debt owed to him by William Shakespeare. With dramatic interludes on a mysterious island, along with monsters, sprites, gods, maidens, apparitions and certain observations on English weather, this extra-sized tale brings a close to the original run of The Sandman.
