wilderthanDream Country is an interlude between bits of ongoing plot, I'm told. You can actually read it without reading the other stuff, as long as you have some basic idea about what the Endless are. There are four stories: one about a captured Greek muse, one about cats and dreaming, one about Shakespeare, and finally one in which Death stars instead of Morpheus, and helps a metamorph to die.
They're interesting little stories: Calliope is my favourite. The cat one is interesting, cats dream too and they see Morpheus as a cat... The idea of Morpheus making a deal with William Shakespeare was brought up in an earlier volume and it's followed through on here. And finally, a story about Death... it's interesting because the main character is an interesting idea, and doubly interesting because Death is rapidly becoming my favourite character, despite her few appearances.
