World's End is another collection of stories, tied together within the stories told in an inn during a reality storm. We have travelers from all times and worlds collected together in a cosmic inn that exists as a safe harbor during reality storms, which shake the fabric of reality. Two people from our world are driving late at night and are run off the road by some mythical creature. As they stumble from the wreck they get lost and end up at the Worlds' End inn. They gather with other guests, and stories are told to pass the time.

The first is a tale of two cites in which a man who loves the city he lives in one day gets on a otherworldy train, with Dream, and when he gets off, he is in a strange shadow of his former city, just ghosts of people, and nothing looks quite right. He runs into an old man who says they are trapped in the city's dreams, and then he sees a door he recognizes, runs through it and is back in the waking city. Since then, he has lived in the country for fear of cities that will one day wake up.

The second story is told by the Faerie Cluracan. He recounts a swashbuckling adventure where he goes and brings down an evil religious leader (with a little help from Dream) and was returning when he ended up here.

We then hear a story from Jim. A story about a young girl who disguised herself as a boy in order to sail the seas on the tall ships. She runs into Hob Gadling and they take a voyage together. At sea they see a huge Sea Serpent and then crashed ashore.

The fourth story we hear is of an alternative United States. In this United States, a boy named Prez Rickard grows up and becomes president at 18-years-old and basically lives up to the Dream of America as is should be. Then one day his wife is assassinated and he disappears and dies himself. In death, he meets Dream and moves on to other worlds that need him to fix them.

We then hear a story of the necropolis Litharge. A necropolis is a city where they are devoted to the ceremonies of the dead. And a student from this city tells of the underground cavern that houses the cerements for the Endless when they die.

The last story we hear in the inn is of the woman from our world, who says she doesn't have a story. She says she is just a lonely, unhappy woman, and she ends up deciding to stay in the inn. The stories close with the ending of the reality storm and we see a huge, solemn funeral procession across the night sky. We see the Endless and a host of gods and characters from the earlier stores, and Death. We end with the man from our world, telling a bartender this whole tale, his whole life has been transformed by the tale related. We see the magic and power that stories have in our lives.
