I read this comic years ago, so I don't quite remember the story too well.
I do recall finding it really interesting towards the end thoughm

Will have to re-read it.

I don't think I am this book's intended audience. I had no idea what was going on; the fantastical elements seemed very unclear to me (maybe on purpose?)
I also don't understand why there is so much untranslated French in this book. Most of it is just short phrases, but sometimes it's entire sentences and I can't be bothered to use a translator in the middle of reading an English-language book.

A rich expansion to the Sandman's Dreaming world. Loa, interfering deities, a different kind of pandemic, and walk on's of familiar characters for Sandman fans while getting to know new promising characters.
