House of Whispers 1
by Neil Gaiman, Nalo Hopkinson, Dan Watters, Simon Spurrier, Kat Howard
One of four books expanding Neil Gaiman's acclaimed Sandman Universe. Welcome to the House of Dahomey, the houseboat of Erzulie Fréda, where the souls of Voodoo followers go when they sleep but even the fearsome Erzulie is powerless when her dream river turns sour, tossing her house from one realm and into another.. the Dreaming!
From her bayou, Erzulie scries upon the mortal realm and sees four human girls open a mysterious and magical journal filled with whispers and rumors that, if they spread, could cause a pandemic unlike any the Earth has seen, with the power to release Shakpana, the loa lord of infectious disease and nephew to Erzulie, who is currently banned from the human plane. Meanwhile, a mysterious infection doctors are calling "Cotard's Delusion" spreads, trapping countless souls in the Dreaming and leaving their physical bodies yearning for death.
Written by Nalo Hopkinson, award-winning author of Brown Girl in the Ring and Midnight Robber, and Dominike "Domo" Stanton, artist of the acclaimed Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
The Sandman Universe is a new series of books curated by Neil Gaiman for DC Vertigo. Conjuring epic storytelling and immersing readers into the evolving world of the Dreaming, The Sandman Universe begins anew with four new ongoing series, existing in a shared universe, building upon Gaiman's New York Times best-selling series that lyrically weaved together stories of dreams and magic.

House of Whispers Vol. 2: Ananse
by Neil Gaiman, Nalo Hopkinson, Dan Watters
She may be the goddess of love and beauty, but for Voodoo deity Erzulie things are getting uglier by the minute.
As a magical epidemic rages, Erzulie's legendary House of Dahomey has been stranded on the shores of the Dreaming, leaving the soulless bodies of the plague's victims to roam the Earth. And all the while, Shakpana—god of pox, plague, and pestilence—grows stronger.
It's enough to confound even the most experienced of Loas. So to help her untangle the threads of her own history, Erzulie turns to Ananse, the spider-god of stories. But Ananse is more twisted than any of his tales, and he has his sights set on the juiciest prize of all.
Now Erzulie and her sister-selves—each more powerful and terrible than the last—must fight for the fate of the world against two of the most infamous immortals in existence. It's their biggest gamble yet—and when the stakes are this high, the house doesn't always win.
The acclaimed creative team of Nalo Hopkinson (Brown Girl in the Ring, Midnight Robber), Dan Watters (Coffin Bound, The Shadow), and Dominike "DOMO" Stanton (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur) take Erzulie's mythical houseboat deep into the uncharted waters of New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman's fantastical Sandman Universe in House of Whispers Vol. 2: Ananse!

Lucifer Vol. 1: The Infernal Comedy (The Sandman Universe)
The Prince of Darkness is missing, and from the look of things he's not coming back. Blind, crippled, and without a penny to his name, the onetime ruler of Hell is now a wizened, unkempt old man trapped in a small town where sinister forces torment him at every turn and nothing is as it seems. He has no memory of how he got here, no hope of escape, and no way to track down his child--the only entity capable of preventing the end of the world.
At the same time, a police officer in Lucifer's adopted hometown of Los Angeles is about to lose everything he holds dear. Desperate to find a reason for his suffering, Detective John Decker is drawn into a shadowy conspiracy whose widely varied members share a single common purpose: to kill Lucifer Morningstar.
With monsters and magicians from every plane of reality set against him, can the Lightbringer heal his broken mind and body and regain his wrongful place in the cosmos?
Acclaimed author Dan Watters (The Shadow, Deep Roots) and the incredible art team of Max and Sebastian Fiumara (All-Star Batman, The Amazing Spider-Man, Abe Sapien) begin an all-new chapter in the saga of one of the Sandman Universe's most mesmerizing characters in Lucifer Vol. 1: The Infernal Comedy--from the mind of New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman!

Books of Magic 1: Moveable Type
by Neil Gaiman, Nalo Hopkinson, Dan Watters, Simon Spurrier, Kat Howard
Timothy Hunter may be destined to become the most powerful magician in the universe, but he's still a London teenager, and having magical abilities is about to turn his world upside down...
From award-winning writer Kat Howard, the Books of Magic series will captivate your interest from the start!
Timothy Hunter is destined to be the world's most powerful magician--at least, that's what he's been told. In the meantime, though, he's just a regular teenager trying to deal with distant parents, school bullies, and adolescent crushes--and magic isn't helping with any of it.
The forces of the supernatural seem to have it in for him. There are more than a few shadowy figures who will stop at nothing to eliminate what they see as a deadly threat to the balance of power--and those are the good guys. In order for Tim to survive long enough to fulfill his destiny, he'll have to learn how to control his burgeoning abilities as well as figure out whom he can trust--and who wants him dead.
This journey of discovery begins with a new teacher named Ms. Rose, a homeless woman named Mad Hettie, and an owl named Yo-Yo--and it will lead him from suburban London straight to the heart of the Dreaming.
