ElizabethLeeCo , The author mentions that it's less like its Sandman origin (which is one of the most horrific parts of the series aside from the diner, imo). But I think that's because it's based more on the spinoff comics (which seemed very YA to me). I still loved it & feel like it marries the two.
Plus it starts leaning more into some horror in the third episode 🤷
