Gaiman's The Sandman Vol. 3 "Dream Country" is more or less a collection of short stories that are related to the the series, but unrelated in terms of the main storyline that's been going on in the first two volumes. I hate when good storylines like that in "The Doll's House (Vol. 2)" get cut off with something unrelated like this book, but this tangent was good. I have heard Gaiman's short stories are amazing and the volumes in Dream Country are all unrelated short stories that touch on littleAn intermezzo between two longer story arcs, composed of four stand-alone issues. Part of the appeal for me is in the quality of work from the guest artists, Charles Vess and Kelley Jones in particular, but the main attraction remains in the creative writing of Gaiman. 17 - Calliope - is a story about a muse from ancient Greece, a prisoner of the mortal plane where she is enslaved and abused by a writer who wants fame and fortune.18 - A Dream of a Thousand Cats - a story for cat lovers
Really enjoyed these stories with a dream theme.
4.5 stars
Dream Country is the third volume of Neil Gaimans excellent Sandman series. This one is the least thematic so far, with four random and loosely connected vignettes, and connected only by Gaimans ongoing storyline of Dream and his fellow siblings The Endless. With tributes to fable, mythology, legend and plenty of original imagination, this one may be the most Bradburyesque offering of the lot.

I did like this, but thought that it was a bit all over the place. I only really liked one issue and that was the one dealing with Death and the woman who was not a woman, Rainie. There seemed to be no connection between these issues and I thought that the issue ending on scripts of whatever for this volume was boring. I just skipped all over that. "Calliope" was a great story and we find out more about this Muse and her relationship with Dream. I liked the idea of Dream having a son though what
