The immense popularity of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is due in large part to the development of his characters. In The Doll's House, the second book of the Sandman magnum opus, Gaiman continues to build the foundation for the larger story, introducing us to more of the Dream King's family of the Endless.

The Sandman returns to his kingdom of the Dreaming after nearly a century of imprisonment, finding several things out of place; most importantly, an anomaly called a dream vortex has manifested itself in the form of a young girl who unknowingly threatens to rip apart the Dreaming. And there's the smaller matter of a few nightmares having escaped. Among them is Gaiman's creepiest creation: the Corinthian, a serial killer with a miniature set of teeth in each eye socket. Because later volumes concentrate so much on human relationships with Gaiman's signature fair for fantasy and mythology, it is sometimes easy to forget that the Sandman series started out as a horror comic. This book grabs you and doesn't let you forget that so easily. --Jim Pascoe

    " if my dream was true, then everything we know, everything we think we know is a lie. it means the world's about as solid and as reliable as a layer of scum on the top of a well of black water which goes down forever, and there are things in the dephts that i don't even want to think about. it means more than that. it means we are just dolls. we don't have a clue what's really going down, we just kid ourselves that we are in control of our lifes while a paper thickness away things that would drive us mad if we thought about them for too long play with us, and move us around from room to room, and put us away at night when they're tired, or bored. [...] dreams are weird and stupid and they scare me. "

  • SO good! I love how characters from this book are inter-linked to characters from the first one.

  • Even better than the first volume, and even more surreal! This is a rampant imagination at its best, looking forward to reading the next volume. Particularly loved the 'Fiddler's Green' characterisation.
