Vertigo: Sandman, by Kooks
“I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend…I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don’t last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend.”
-From Neil Gaiman’s Sandman
Victoria and I are so excited to return to our annual summer book club and this summer we will be reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman series! I'll mostly be posting here on insta and Victoria will work with Twitter but follow #CHBSandman to join the conversation anywhere on social media. We kick off on Monday! #books #bookstagram #bookstore #bookclub #sandman #neilgaiman #comics
It's that time again: summer is quickly approaching, and with it, the return of our annual social media summer book club! We've taken you through the Harry Potter series and shared our thoughts on southern women authors, but this summer Victoria and Michelle are taking things over to the realm of comics and graphic novels with Neil Gaiman's popular Sandman series!
Neil Gaiman started his Sandman series in 1989, and, like its author, the comic series has had a major influence on the fantasy genre ever since. Published by Vertigo, an imprint of DC Comics, Sandman follows Dream, one of the seven Endless, eternal beings who each rule their own realm. At the start of the series, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. After his 70 year imprisonment, Dream, also known as Morpheus, must escape and reclaim his lost objects of power as he confronts the changes in his realm and in himself.
Though Sandman was initially published as a monthly comic book series, the series has been reprinted into ten trade paperbacks that collect the entire 75 issues. We've assigned one week for each of these 10 books starting on May 23rd, and we'll be posting on the website and various social media sites throughout the summer with our thoughts and opinions on the series, so follow along and join in the discussion with the #CHBSandman hashtag!
Here's the reading schedule in case you'd like to follow along!

Then join in on our social media accounts using the hashtag #CHBSandman: Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, and the CHB website!
