there was also a book or books that had 3 witches as hosts, I'm guessing as an homage to Macbeth
EC's Haunt of Fear, I believe.
t edit never mind -- that was just one witch. [link]
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

I thought EC had just the one very old witch and I could have sworn DC had three (two old and one young, which is sometimes how the witches in Macbeth are cast).
Or did I misunderstand what you were saying?

See my edit above, Frank.
I just discovered that Adidas has a store near Harvard Square. Hmmm....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finished Preludes and Nocturnes. Good introduction. John Dee is a frickin' crazy psycho monster. I was sad when he killed Rosemary; she was a sweet, naive woman. And "24 Hours" was very freaky.
Death is hot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Death is hot.
Plus, she was based on an actual waitress.

Death is hot.
And smart, and kind, and funny, and a goth girl archetype.

Gaiman's said "24 Hours" was one of the most disturbing things he'd written to date, which is probably true. He's also said the series doesn't really hit its stride until "The Sound of Her Wings," which is definitely true, so if you liked Preludes and Nocturnes, prepare to be gobsmacked with greatness.
Death and Delirium are tied for my favorite of the Endless, with Dream not far behind.

I don't doubt it. It's completely unrelentless and unsympathetic and brutal, with no happy ending in sight. As you read it, you just keep thinking, "This can't be happening."
I like the way Dream talks in black text bubbles.
