The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman

5.0

---

I've read this, but apparently never shelved it, at least twice before. As ever, I find something new to love with each read. I'm not sure why people head into Sandman expecting superheroes or happy endings, but this - much like the previous collection - has neither (or both, depending on your viewpoint). It does, however, have beautiful symbolism, rich allegory, and the creative wealth of a great many talented artists and writers. The Sandman series remains my favourite graphic novel bar none, and I will go down recommending it to everyone I know.
