It gets darker in this book, the reason I stopped for a while in the middle. This steps up in the "oh shit, yuck" horror stuff and...I would say that you shouldn't pay a second thought to it and you'll be completely fine. If you think too much then you might have some weird thoughts and see stuff in darkness. That's how horror world ig.
Still, a decent story, but not at par with the other novel level stuff Sandman had produced in earlier books. But this is Gaiman so...I don't care, I will continue reading. Kudos.

This one didn't connect to the Sandman / Morpheus or the mythos as much as the other issues so far. He was more of a secondary character.
It was an interesting story and I liked the theme around identity, but it also raised some questions about the Dreaming and a few characters that popped up.
This volume centered on Barbie (from Volume 2 The Doll's House) and explained why she has such a vivid dream.
There was a weird green bird in the dream that had the same name as me, which made me laugh, but also made me kind of confused about why she was named Luz.
