Has to be one of the best among the library.( although that would present some debate) Not that is was easy to choose from so many outstanding works. They are all masterpieces in their own right.

Ten thousand years ago, the Dream King banished his lover into the abyss of hell. Now, his siblings are convinced that this was a travesty and would do will to persuade him to correct this injustice. He must go through the fiery gates of hell to rescue his condemned lover. Several major obstacles stand in the way, most notably Lucifer who has sworn to devastate and destroy Morpheus. Inside the calm and cool mind of Morpheus, a daring, cunning and brilliant plan is hatched.

Morpheus would receive a key to hell. Chaos and fun ensued when various underlings and

mongers try to wrest, cajole and put forward their argument as to why they should be the owner of hell. Their reasons for wanting it and plans for it, were as varied and entertaining as they are. As always, the characters drawn up leaves a lasting impression. I really do dream of them sometimes. It seems the Dream King does visit.

Characteristically, there are the usual short stories. These little gems managed to be weaved into the main story without appearing obtrusive. In fact, they complement to the overall mood and feel of the main theme. The artwork is good and adds even more life to the characters in the ‘movie’. With the ending of each chapter, comes an innate urge to quickly read the next one. It is an excelling compelling read. Oh and the conclusion to a marvelous volume was fantastic. You would have to find it out yourself. Borrow from a friend lf you really have to. You will not regret.

“To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.” –Jim Pascoe (From the 2nd chapter of Seasons of Mist)
