Když Neila Gaimana posadili při udílení Oscarů za rok 2009 na první balkón, odkud toho moc neviděl, neměl příliš dobrou náladu a nudil se. Díky tomu zážitku vznikl text Postřehy z poslední řady, který později propůjčil název sbírce projevů, esejů, úvah a sloupků. Gaiman v tomto souboru dokazuje, že se bravurně orientuje nejen ve sci-fi, fantasy a komiksu, ale také v hudbě, politice, literatuře a umění obecně. Posaďte se s Neilem Gaimanem do poslední řady a nechte si vyprávět o pohádkách, Batmanovi a H. P. Lovecraftovi, ale také o Douglasu Adamsovi, Tori Amos nebo nově se rodící americké mytologii.

In the longest Sandman story, Morpheus becomes the prey of the Furies--avenging spirits who torment those who spill family blood.

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. This edition features a new revised text, approved by Neil Gaiman and the Pratchett Estate, which clears up many typos and errors from previous editions. It also features twelve full colour illustrations from Paul Kidby - Terry Pratchett's artist of choice - and further pencil drawings.

Stín trávil tři roky ve vězení, kde se držel zpátky a snažil se přežít. Všechno co chtěl, bylo vrátit se do náručí své milující ženy a po zbytek života se vyhýbat malérům. Několik dní před svým propuštěním se však dozvídá, že jeho manželka zahynula při automobilové nehodě. Svět se pro něj změnil v chladné místo. V letadle, cestou na pohřeb, se Stín setkává s postarším mužem, který si říká pan Středa, ten mu nabídne práci. Stín, muž, který už nemá co ztratit, ji nakonec přijme. Pracovat pro tajemného Středu však není bez rizika a Stín brzy zjistí, že jeho místo ve Středových plánech je mnohem nebezpečnější, než si kdy představoval. Podniká rušnou cestu tajemným světem Ameriky, jak ji nezná, a jeho společníky jsou mimo jiné i vražedný Černobog, charismatický pan Nancy nebo půvabná Ester - ti všichni vědí o něm víc, než on sám. Postupně se Stín dozvídá, že minulost neumírá, že každý - jeho ženu nevyjímaje - má svoje tajemství a že sázky jsou vyšší, než si kdo dokáže představit. Schyluje se k bouři epických rozměrů. Stín a Středa se stávají centrem konfliktu starého jako lidstvo samo. Pod povrchem každodenního života se schyluje k válce - a bojovat se bude o samotnou duši Ameriky...
