Sandman Library. Vol. 2: Casa di bambola

The mix of mythological references and original storytelling creates a layered world. I'm curious about what inspired this particular approach.

The illustrations are so atmospheric and surreal — I wonder if that was a conscious choice to evoke the subconscious.

The way this volume fits into the larger narrative felt deliberate but also kept its own tone. Did the author plan this story from the start or adapt it later?
