The Four Riders of The Renaissance
To punish and destroy mankind the the Dies Irae sent his four horsemen of the Apocalypse, “Famine” , “War” , “Pestilence” and “Death” and they laid waste the Earth because man and womankind did not bow down , and Dies Irae was an angry god who could become irate at the colour of the sky, so when people did not follow his every word then they were a target for his anger. It was their fault for being there and not doing as HE said.

The Sandman, The Sea Girl and The Dog
This is a follow on from The Sandman and The Sea Girl that you can read here. While it is best to read that before this both stories actually stand alone, but that gives some details on the inspiration behind the main characters in this.
