This volume is short. It's only four stories that have nothing to do with each other, besides being set in the same universe: "Calliope," "A Dream of a Thousand Cats," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and "Facade." Calliope This story is mediocre. A man traps a literal muse named Calliope, keeps her as a prisoner, rapes her, and uses her to become famous through literature. This is my second time reading it, and very little of this story stuck with me, except for the beginning. The beginning has a doctor bringing the rapist/author a special form of bezoar (which is a stone found in a human stomach), a trichenobezoar (made of partially digest hair). It's gross, and it's Gaiman. And it stuck with me. A Dream of a Thousand Cats This story is silly. Or at least it should be. In this story, a mother cat who had her kittens drown in a sack by her owners journeys to meet Morpheus (in cat form, of course). Morpheus shares the true history of cats. I'm trying not to spoil anything, but I'll just say "...the game of cat and man. Prrrrrr." This story is good, and effective, and somehow holds itself up by it's own storytelling. It shouldn't be a good story. But it is. A Midsummer Night's Dream You should read the forward to the next volume for a good history of this story (by none other than Harlan Ellison). It's enough to say that it's one of those game-changers, changed the way people whose business it is to be in the fantasy genre treat both fantasy as a whole and graphic novels specifically. The forward is a really good read. As for the story itself: it's wonderful. William Shakespeare makes his second appearance, performing A Midsummer Night's Dream (commissioned by Morpheus) for a crowd of demons, Faeries, spirits, and mythological creatures. It's a good story. I've read (i.e. experienced) it several times now. Excellent. Facade This story is more like a coda, a minor project in this volume. It features Morpheus' sister, Death, as she deals with an ex-super hero character from some lore that I'm not familiar with. I've never been into super hero stories, so the super hero aspect of this falls flat. Death, however, is charming. So why five stars? With two mediocre stories? Because somehow, Neil Gaiman's universes don't really need the stories themselves to be great. The worlds he creates are great as stand alone worlds. Which kills me, by the way. By and large I'm a science fiction guy, and don't like fantasy worlds that don't have a concrete foundation in the world I live in. But Neil Gaiman keeps making me care about his fantastical worlds. It's intriguing.
