Summary
Two years after the impossible death of his friend, Dream of the Endless, immortal history professor Hob Gadling is consumed by a grief so profound it manifests as paranoia—a world suddenly filled with observing ravens and creeping shadows. Seeking a distraction from his six centuries of loneliness, Hob enters a London rare bookstore, Oneiros Books, only to come face-to-face with the dead. The proprietor, Morpheus Oneiros, is the absolute spitting image of Dream, but wears jeans and an old jumper, and is purely, maddeningly human.

Summary
Hob is not entirely surprised by Dream's appearances while he sleeps, these days. He's never going to make the mistake of taking the luxury for granted, but it has stopped feeling so entirely foreign, the presence of another living creature in his flat, usually lurking around like an oversized crow waiting for Hob to wake up.
This morning, however, Hob senses something troubling outside of the general eerie that Dream supplies to the every day. The flat is usually silent even when occupied by Dream. He seems to move without stirring the air, like the human plain of existence isn't entirely sure what the rules are. Even when he handles things like cups, spoons, the sound is muffled - nearly delayed. But this is different. The change in the atoms is palpable even to Hob's rudimentary senses. He gets out of bed hurriedly, smelling ozone and char. Distress.
"Dream?" He asks. There is no answer, but an awareness in the quiet that does it for him. Progressing into the living room, Hob stalls when he catches sight of Dream. His breath leaves his ribs as if knocked out by the buck of a stallion. "Oh shit-"

Summary
“Who are they?” Hob asked
Seventeen-year-old Hob Gadling hates Shakespeare, avoids his homework, and lives under the heavy weight of grief and an alcoholic father’s volatile moods. With his dreams of college slipping through his fingers, Hob’s only escape is the golden meadow beyond his backyard — a quiet, wild place where the world feels softer, and his pain a little more bearable.
But everything changes the day they move in.
The Edvardsens — a mysterious family of seven adopted siblings with strange names, stranger auras, and a mansion that’s been abandoned for decades — have arrived from London, trailing secrets, whispers of fame, and a history even older than Hob could guess. When he meets Death, radiant and self-possessed, something shifts. And when he finds him — the boy in black, reading alone in the meadow — Hob begins to feel like his story might finally be starting. -

Summary
Hob Gadling has lived through six centuries of history, and he’s collected more jobs than most people can imagine—mercenary, printer, pirate, mob boss, even a rock musician for a spell. But the one role that feels like home is the one he holds now: Professor Robin Golding, Medieval History, London.
Through lectures about chimneys and buttons, cups of tea at Nina’s café, banter with colleagues, and evenings in his pub, Hob reflects on the small things that shape lives. The inventions that go unnoticed, the food that feels miraculous after centuries of hunger, the city of London itself. And underneath it all, the quiet, stubborn hope that maybe one day his Stranger will walk through the door again.
A story about teaching, eating, laughing, waiting, and living—all the little things that keep Hob going.

Dream doesn’t even look at Hob while he speaks, continuing to stare into the middle distance, turning the tin can in his hold around and around.
Finally, Dream sighs, his shoulders going with it as he turns to bodily face Hob, planting one foot on the bench and almost curling around his bent knee pressed against his chest.
“I’m going deaf…”

Summary
The look Dream gave him was exactly that of the cat served with a salad, although Hob wasn’t yelling at him at the moment. “Why would you humans find sexual appeal in other beings that are not of your species?”
“You tell me. You are the wet dreams of everything.”
Dream's appearance depended on how one perceived him. And for centuries, Hob didn't see him as a human.
