The sunless lands

I seem to remember that Morpheus (and possibly Death herself) referred to Death's realm as "the sunless lands" on more than one occasion...am I right? If so, this would seem to negate the assertion that Death is in her realm at the beginning of The Wake. A mention could possibly be made of Foxglove and Hazel's experiences in The High Cost of Living. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 19:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Endless nights

In Endless Nights (2003) Gaiman shows Death several billion years ago, with a markedly different personality-- forbidding and joyless

Can anybody confirm this? I'm kinda inclined to think there's no such thing. TommyStardust 17:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I've got the book; the reference is from the story that revolves around Dream. The story does indeed take place in Earth's distant past, before life began here. Death only has a few lines of dialogue, but her demeanor and attitude are the complete opposite of her portrayal in the original series, and everyone around her who isn't an Endless is markedly uneasy. This story also marks the first appearance of Delirium as Delight (in a speaking role) and the only appearance of the first Despair, as I recall.

Picture Caption is Wrong

This might just be me, but isn't the picture of death over a cup of coffee from the miniseries "The Time of Your Life", rather than "The High Cost of Living"?

I can't seem to find that illustration in either book, and it certainly doesn't seem to be in the same style as either of them. The chequered background is a motif used in TTOYL, but the colouring seems to obviously done on a computer, rather than by hand (or made to look hand-coloured). D J L 15:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It is on the cover of some, but not all editions of The Time of Your Life.--Scottandrewhutchins 19:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
