Morpheus, the King of Dreams, is unexpectedly called out of his realm by human sorcery. Imprisoned for decades, he patiently waits for the right moment. When it arrives, he is free . . . but his possessions have been taken. He doggedly sets out to recover them- and with them, his strength. Can he prevail? And how will humanity suffer in the dreamworld during the process?
I've been intrigued by the Sandman character for years, and I enjoy the occasional Neil Gaiman story. His 12-volume Sandman series is highly regarded . . . unfortunately, this first volume was a bit too confusing, weird and/or creepy for me. Perhaps that's to be expected- an entity who operates in the dream world is bound to produce odd, disconnected stories. But it also featured occult elements (and a journey into Hell), which I personally don't like. There were some interesting concepts and intriguing elements, so it was okay overall, but I don't think I'll be reading more of the series.
