Episode notes

"I fell for this. Like I didn't know," she says of the book's art, which is hyper-vibrant and dreamlike. "The last few pages are very like stark and brown and black and just no, like color or she on anything." The story follows a man who dreams he can buy his city back by buying it from him. He then wakes up in another version of Baghdad that has been put into a bottle.

Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're working our way through Neil Gaiman's signature graphic novel series THE SANDMAN. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

In Episode 5: A GAME OF YOU, the story is about Barbie, her fantastical dreams, Barbie's friend Wanda, their neighbors Hazel and Foxglove, a vengeful witch named Thessaly, an authoritarian cuckoo bird, and MARTIN FLIPPING TENBONES.

In Episode 6: FABLES AND REFLECTIONS, Gaiman penned another set of one-off stories. Some are fables, others are reflections. Tune in to find out which is which!
