Welcome to Litsy!

29/150 I'm not sure how I missed this when it was first released, but I'm glad I've read it now. Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell together make magic in this beautiful Japanese story of a fox who falls in love with a Monk, and what she will do to save his life. The story is beautiful but heart wrenching, destined for tragedy. The artwork by Russell is amazing, I could see panels of this framed on people's wall as art. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Anyone else swoon over Morpheus? I'm so thankful for all things Gaiman 😍

I love this llustration by P. Craig Russell for a US library campaign in the 00's.

I should reorganize my books more often. I completely forgot i had this. And I'm pretty sure I have not read it yet 😍😍

It's after-shower-before-bed reading time. One of my favourite times of the day (although my most favourite time may be when they're asleep and all is finally quiet 😂)

Coffee + dreams on a dreary Monday afternoon. Somehow exactly what I needed.

Short but fun. Nice illustrations and Japanese folklore with Gaiman's twist.

Look at what I found at the public library today. A beautifully illustrated novella by Mr. Gaiman. I'm excited to read another work by this author.

More of a short story with amazing art than a graphic novel, I think this one of Gaiman's best works. I love the appropriately tragic ending and the art really is wonderful. Even if you aren't a graphic novel fan, I think this is worth the read, and it's really more illustrated than a visual story, so read this if you like Gaiman, read it if you like short stories, and read it if you like vengeance and love stories. 3.5/5 stars

If I had to choose a favorite Sandman story, this would have to be the one.
But please don't make me choose!

Note: This is a good pick for anyone looking to read a stand-alone Sandman without needing to read any other issues for context or backstory.

Something peaceful after that last post. Yoshitaka Amano does gorgeous art.

When I was little, my dad brought home a stuffed animal Baku, which my mom hung above my bed to eat my dreams. I had no idea that they were real myths, and not just something my dad made up, until I read this book. My Obaasan never told me stories about Baku and they weren't in any of my children's books from Japan.
