Nightmare country

James Tynion

Book - 2023

"Sometimes, nightmares walk the Earth. Every night when you sleep, the Lord of Dreams chooses the path you'll follow...into a sylvan Elysium, or down the hallways of your darkest fears. And sometimes, if it is Dream's will, those nightmares escape those halls, and go out into the world. But it is not a choice he makes lightly. Today the Corinthian walks the Earth again. The most feared of all Dream's nightmares, his ravenous mouths have made him a legend among serial killers. Letting the Corinthian out among mortals is the most dangerous thing Dream could possibly do. But he has no choice-because there is another nightmare walking the Earth, one that must be hunted...and this monster is one that Dream, lord of all nightm...ares, did not make. Acclaimed writer James Tynion IV has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today-and that time has come!"--

Review by Library Journal Review

Best-selling horror comics author Tynion (The Nice House on the Lake) and illustrator Estherren (Night Train) present a new tale set in the world of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Since childhood, Madison Flynn has been haunted by visions of the Smiling Man, a menacing figure with gaping mouths where its eyes should be. One of Madison's painted portraits of the creature is noticed by a living nightmare called the Corinthian, who comes to investigate, defying the decree that forbids him to enter the waking world. The Corinthian quickly learns that he's not the only one seeking Flynn--a pair of sadistic killers dubbed Mr. Agony and Mr. Ecstasy are also interested in meeting her, as is an eccentric billionaire who believes that accumulating a collection of evil artifacts is the key to unlocking immense power. This volume collects the first six issues of an ongoing series. VERDICT Tynion and Estherren have crafted an intriguingly mysterious thriller that evokes the distinct gothic sensibility of Gaiman's original "Sandman" series.
