    In “Death’s Master” the Demon Prince refers to the Lord of Delusions as “uncousin.”

    In the ‘Sandman’ comics there are a lot of little cut-away stories, just like the tale of the teardrop necklace in “Night’s Master.”

        They put out the whole comic series in four big printed volumes after the TV show came out. The entire run of the comic.

        Get them from your local library; they are worth a read, and if you get them from the library he doesn’t get any more money.

      Haven’t read either of these two authors, but by “cut away stories” do you mean stories within the story? If so there is a long tradition of that, going back to the 1001 Arabian Nights, post modern authors life John Barth, etc.

        It doesn’t make a lot of sense to talk about the authors’ styles if you haven’t actually read them.
