Book Reviews of The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House
Book Review: Review of Gaiman's The Sandman, Vol II
Summary: 5 Stars
Gaiman continues his epic narrative of the dream lord with this second volume. I say epic because both of the volumes find the Sandman moving through a series of realms and plots, through time and space, his character developing through and exploiting with panache with subplots of Gaiman's comics. In this sense, he has begun to develop into a truly otherworldy entity. 'The Doll House' finds Gaiman really engaging his character and discovering his place in the history of mankind. It's the sort of book you want to read in one sitting.
Summary of The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House
This volume of Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN book series features the first appearance of Death, the Sandman's older sister. As Clive Barker says in his Introduction, ". . . there is a wonderful willful quality to this mix . . .slapstick comedy, mystical musings, and the grimmest collection of serial killers this side of Death Row." Eighth printing. Graphic novel format. Mature readers.The immense popularity of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is due in large part to the development of his characters. In The Doll's House, the second book of the Sandman magnum opus, Gaiman continues to build the foundation for the larger story, introducing us to more of the Dream King's family of the Endless.
The Sandman returns to his kingdom of the Dreaming after nearly a century of imprisonment, finding several things out of place; most importantly, an anomaly called a dream vortex has manifested itself in the form of a young girl who unknowingly threatens to rip apart the Dreaming. And there's the smaller matter of a few nightmares having escaped. Among them is Gaiman's creepiest creation: the Corinthian, a serial killer with a miniature set of teeth in each eye socket. Because later volumes concentrate so much on human relationships with Gaiman's signature fair for fantasy and mythology, it is sometimes easy to forget that the Sandman series started out as a horror comic. This book grabs you and doesn't let you forget that so easily. --Jim Pascoe
