The Sandman: The Doll's House - Neil Gaiman

The Doll s House is the second volume of Neil Gaiman s Sandman series. It follows Preludes and Nocturnes and comes before Dream Country. You don t need to know this, but it took me ages to read them in the right order and I think it s better when you do. Once again, there are seperate stories linked with a through-plot. Having regained his freedom and control of his realm, Dream (Morpheus) seeks to gain control of the creatures that inhabit people s dreams and nightmares. It turns out, four of them are missing, including a particularly nasty character called The Corinthian . There is also a seemingly ordinary girl who seems to be drawing these dreams and ...

The Sandman: The Doll's House - Neil Gaiman

The second collection of Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Sandman,’ originally the first to be released, is once again dominated by a large and intricate plot spread over a number of issues, with a couple of issues taking time out to explore other areas. With the general introductions now out of the way, ‘The Doll’s House’ aims to expand the scope of Gaiman’s story, both for its own self-contained uses and for the future of the series, while also developing a slightly obsessive preoccupation with self-reference, tying up loose threads from earlier in the continuity and elsewhere in the extensive DC universe that readers likely were never aware were dangling in the first place, ...

The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes - Neil Gaiman

Preludes and Nocturnes is the first of the eleven original Sandman volumes, although the series doesn't have to be read in order. In fact, since reading my first of Gaiman's works in 1995, I have found new things every time I paw through them. This is one of the reasons I can keep coming back to them every couple of years. The Sandman series takes religious, mythical, cultural and folkloric characters and themes and weaves them into an intelligent and fresh narrative. From the first pages of Preludes and Nocturnes this is apparent. An early twentieth century cult aim to capture and harness the powers of Death, but succeed instead of trapping Dream - or rather his ...
