About the series
Nalo Hopkinson and Dan Watters write this 20-issue DC series from 2018–2020, a Sandman Universe title that blends Caribbean folklore with the dreamlike horror of the Dreaming. Dominike 'Domo' Stanton and Matthew Dow Smith provide the art, grounding the story in a mysterious houseboat that serves as a refuge for wayward spirits and a gateway to darker realms. It matters as a vibrant, culturally specific expansion of the Sandman mythos, centering a queer, Black cast and exploring themes of desire, memory, and survival against the backdrop of a world teetering on the edge of nightmares.
