THE SANDMAN: THE DREAM HUNTERS is a graphic novel adaptation of Gaiman's and Yoshitako Amano's illustrated novella of the same name.

So it was that a wily fox made a wager to dislodge a humble young monk from his home-and lost her heart in the betting. So it was also that a master of the demons of this world set his own eyes on the monk, seeking to seize the pious man's inner strength for his own. And so it was, the King of All Night's Dreaming would find himself intervening on behalf of a love that was never meant to be....
