I've only skimmed all of what has been said, so forgive me if anyone has said this already - but the Lucifer books are an interesting tie in to this volume (not to mention some of the death books).
"The boys" are an interesting thing to … -
Something I love a by the sandman is that it is so steeped in mythos. Perhaps that's all part of these for stories. We have the obvious connection to Egyptian mythology (Ra) as well as Greek mythos (calliope). The cat story is an obvious connection …

Do I detect a cover of said song done with a typewriter percussion?
And I agree, Josie and the pussycats really was a great comedy. -
If you're in the Portland area, last time I checked the Multnomah County Library had all the books, though you might get wait listed. I would also be willing to lend my copies out, though I'll be using them also so you would probably be a week behin…
