As a result, Vertigo launched The Sandman Presents, a separate label for short-form spin-off works produced by various creators: The series has been solicited through issue #21 [9] [10] [11] but these remaining issues ended up being cancelled, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is a far more subdued pair of episodes, compared to last week, and structurally they’re very similar. “Closing Time” in particular is a monologue with occasional interruptions, and it gives Vegas a chance to shine. One of the UK’s best, darkest, and oddest comedians, he’s started to show a real aptitude for dramatic work in recent years. This is the best performance I’ve ever seen from him, shifting from slightly cruel humor to honesty to something approaching that clear, empty space that sits just beyond terror. Daniel saw something impossible and it marked him, not in a life-changing way but just enough to shift his perceptions. The others are telling stories, Daniel’s telling the truth. Or at least, giving the truth greater scope. Elle Fanning to Star in Neil Gaiman Adaptation 'How to Talk to Girls at Parties' (Exclusive)". The Hollywood Reporter. 9 July 2014 .

The author has flown in, full of beans, with his wife Amanda Palmer and their baby, Ash, to discuss the imminent onslaught of his work: his first non-fiction book, The View From The Cheap Seats, and Neil Gaiman’s Likely Stories – the first of many TV adaptations in the works.

The Books of Magic #1–4 (with John Bolton (#1), Scott Hampton (#2), Charles Vess (#3) and Paul Johnson (#4), 1990–1991) Books of Magic #1–23 (written by Kat Howard (#1–18) and David Barnett (#19–23), drawn by Tom Fowler, Brian Churilla (#7–12) and Craig Taillefer (#12–16, 18–23), 2018–2020) What I really like about the approach to adapting Gaiman’s work is that a unified vision is very much in evidence from the directors, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard. The camera has a slow, gentle crawl around the rooms that the characters inhabit, giving an delicately grimy picture of their lives. There are small details everywhere, from the used tissues on Simon’s bed to the bulging shelves in the kitchen where Joyce works. Everything feels real and also revealing. There are few moments that would make the viewer jump, but that’s not really what these stories are about anyway. The horror comes from the slow drip-feed of information to an unpleasant, yet strangely satisfying, conclusion.

You can stream them all in a row and imagine they’re more conjoined, like it’s an anthology film akin to the Creepshow features consisting of adaptations of Stephen King short stories. Likely Stories is a compilation of short films based on Neil Gaiman works otherwise unrelated. They range in origin from a 1985 Penthouse contribution to a 2002 piece published in McSweeney’s, with another found in a multi-author collection and another first existing in a comic book. Each short could be classified as horror, or at least as strange, one of them being a sort of light ghost story rather than something scary. If you’re a Gaiman fan, you might know the titles: “Foreign Parts,”“Feeders and Eaters,”“Closing Time,” and “Looking for the Girl.” Nightmare Country #1–6 (written by James Tynion IV, drawn by Lisandro Estherren and María Llovet (#6), 2022) The success of this limited series led to a sequel limited series produced by the same creative team:

Short stories are the stories which show us our trueself... in few minutes... not going very deeper neither and not very on the top... somewhere on the middle."

The Sandman Presents: The Thessaliad #1–4 (written by Bill Willingham, drawn by Shawn McManus, 2002) The Sandman Presents: The Dead Boy Detectives #1–4 (written by Ed Brubaker, drawn by Bryan Talbot, 2001) The View from the Cheap Seats (stories and poems from the eponymous collection — read by Gaiman, released by HarperAudio in 2016, ISBN 0-0624-1719-3)Feeders And Eaters starts off in the company of Joyce (Montserrat Lombard), a warm, straight-to-camera kind of character who is heavily pregnant and works at an all-night cafe. One night her brother’s old school friend, the once gorgeous Eddie (Tom Hughes) turns up and starts to tell her a story about his life, and his affection for an old lady who has taught him where to find all sorts of interesting things to eat. Again, we’re heading into unpleasant territory, and the less you know in advance, the better – because then you can come with an open mind to the big questions that the story brings to you. Beyond the scary aspects, beyond the strange, there’s a point about human relationships to do with how we sustain and nurture each other, and sometimes take the best of each other without giving in return.
