Preludes and Nocturnes collects the first eight issues of The Sandman comic by Neil Gaiman published by DC Vertigo. The series centers on Morpheus (Dream of the Endless). Dream is imprisoned for decades by an occultist seeking immortality. Upon escaping, he must reclaim his objects of power while still in a weakened state, confronting an addict to his dream powder, the legions of Hell, and an all-powerful madman (Doctor Destiny) in the process.

I reread this while listening to the audible version that just came out with a full cast. What a wonderful experience! The last chapter "the sound of her wings" is amazingly beautiful in a very sad way. The story, drawings, voice actors and sound effects just make the whole experience much better.
