As Clive Barker says in his Introduction, ". . . there is a wonderful willful quality to this mix . . .slapstick comedy, mystical musings, and the grimmest collection of serial killers this side of Death Row". Eighth printing. Graphic novel format. Mature readers. Publisher: DC Comics ISBN: 0930289595 EAN: 9780930289591 Dimensions: 25.91 x 16.87 x 1.04 centimeters (0.37 kg)

There are several threads in the Doll's House. Morpheus must clean house as he realises several of his more important servants are missing. He must deal with two of them who have set about creating their own Sandman using a dead man, and his live wife and child. Another is keynote speaker at a serial killers convention.

On a lighter note, Dream and Death are amused by Hob when they find him declaiming he will not die, so Dream offers to meet him for a drink every 100 years to see if he has changed his mind, and realises that they have become friends.

The adventures of the Sandman continue here, and I'm sure to say, fans of the first trade paperback will love this one, and fall hard for Death, the irrepressible beauty! This is an excellent comic which continues to get more and more intriquing. This is a pretty gruesome installment, but you will discover why Neil Gaiman's outstanding creativity and deep darkness is so well renouned. Excellent reading.
