Death: At Death's Door

Written & illustrated by Jill Thompson

Get ready for an authentic manga take on the Sandman mythos - at a unique manga digest size - by Jill Thompson, based on Neil Gaiman's "Season of Mists" storyline and featuring appearances by every member of the Endless. Told as a traditional girls' manga tale - or shojo - DEATH: AT DEATH'S DOOR is replete with family drama, tragic love stories, strong interpersonal relationships, dramatic pacing, symbolism, and a cast of alluring, androgynous characters with a flair for fashion. DEATH: AT DEATH'S DOOR reveals what Death and her sisters were up to as Morpheus decided what to do with the key to Hell. After the Sandman cut off Lucifer's wings, the Morningstar abdicated his kingdom and left the Key to Hell in Morpheus's hands...which meant that Hell's nastiest denizens were free to evacuate the premises. Unfortunately for Death, they ended up in her apartment. Little sisters Delirium and Despair decide to throw a party for the dead - which quickly gets out of control. It's up to Dream's older sister Death to figure out how to save the day and the afterlife - not to mention the carpet.
