About this Collection

This collection brings together the first story arc of The Dreaming, the spin-off series from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Focusing on the denizens of the Dreaming after Dream's departure, this volume explores the shifting power dynamics and strange new threats that emerge in the realm of dreams. Written by Caitlín R. Kiernan with art by various creators, it collects issues #1-5 of the 1998 series.

In "Introduction," the surreal and haunting journey of Tempto and Goldie reaches its mythic climax as they arrive at the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. With the fate of paradise hanging in the balance, Tempto seeks to rewrite time and reclaim Eden—only for Goldie to step in and restore the course of things. Written by Terry LaBan and illustrated with striking, dreamlike detail by Peter Snejbjerg, this issue features a cover by the legendary Dave McKean, whose haunting art captures the story’s otherworldly gravity.
