Since I knew I might have time to spare while she looked in stores, I bought it and sat outside one, beginning to read it. I saw The Sandman Book One by Neil Gaiman in my local book store while I was out shopping with my wife the other day. I'm very interested to see what hte adaptation has to offer now and will for sure be continuing on with book 2 (although I'm going on a bit of a book buying ban after last month so idk when I'll get to it/buy the next books but oh well). It deals with a lot more heavier topics that I expected - like I know it was a more mature story but I didn't expect some of the stories to get as dark as they did. I will say I expected more of a fantasy story but this does definitely lean more towards horror than I expected and while idk if I would pick up other horror stories after this I do think I will continue with this one. I read this a little slower than I normally would, I think that's partially because it is a heavier story & wanted to make sure I took my time with the novel rather than rush through it and partially because I've been going through it recently and this book was both the escape I needed and a bit much to deal with at times. So this is simultaneously nothing like that I expected form a "Gaiman story" but also everything that you expect from Gaiman wrapped up in one story (although the story isn't technically finished yet?).
