Finished The Sandman: Dream Country by Neil Gaiman.

This volume features four stories — a muse is forced to provide ideas to a writer, a cat wants to change the world through dreams, actors perform a Shakespeare play for demons, and a comic book character longs for death.

I really liked the writer story. Who hasn’t wished for a muse you could call on any time? But the muse is abused and raped during the story, which really, really disturbed me. I also just didn’t get the Shakespeare story, and the cat story was just bizarre. So, was the last story about a comic book character wishing for death. Overall, not as interesting as the other books/stories in the series.

So, thumbs down.

Up next: More Sandman.
