Sandman Presents:Taller Tales

Rating:
Summary: Stories From The Dreaming
Review: This is a collection of stories by various writers and artists set in the Sandman framework. Each of the stories is quite different.

First we have a spy thriller staring Pumpkinhead Jack. Is her really a hero or is he just pulling our leg? The answers might be surprising. The most entertaining story of the lot.

Next we have a tale of a young boy in the Library Corps. He must take his red wagon and retrieve book that were taken out the previous night. The weakest of the stories and far too cartoonish for my taste.

Next we have a three part story of a powerful witch who is the target of a group of death gods. She is joined by a Fetch (a type of ghost). Nice plotting and shows promise of further tales.

Finally we get a short collection of loosely-joined scenes meant to answer dream questions we were afraid to ask. This has its ups and down but is generally OK.

A reasonable collection that will hopefully be followed by more in a similar vein. We shall see.
