Review
Gaiman often writes about various mythologies as well as death. The Sandman series, American Gods, Good Omens, etc. This story fits into that overall focus of Gaiman’s work. It is short, but everything is well realized. You get a good sense of the cosmogony imagined here. The characters are well realized. This is a tight, well-crafted story.
