cacl, who's racheting up the ranks of book reviewers, has returned with a review of the latest Neil Gaiman work Sandman: The Dream Hunters. He and Yoshitaka Amanos produced this work together, which is Gaiman's first return into the Sandman story in several years.

Mitch Haile has submitted a feature that I need to put a disclaimer in front of. This is quite different then usual Slashdot fare, but I think its worth sharing. It contains somewhat graphic (but real) stuff, so if you're squeemish, just keep scrolling past the link. It discusses meeting people over the internet, and a frightening story that sounds like the bad stereotypes, but happens to be true. Many of us have met people over the net, and this is food for thought.
