About the series
In 2003, DC’s Sandman Presents banner offered Caitlín R. Kiernan a chance to expand Neil Gaiman’s mythos, focusing on the Egyptian cat goddess Bast. Over three issues, Kiernan and artist Joe Bennett explored Bast’s ancient, alien nature as she navigated the modern world, a figure of power and mystery far removed from her worshippers’ expectations. This brief, self-contained story matters as a thoughtful, character-driven dive into one of The Sandman’s most intriguing immortals, showcasing Kiernan’s lyrical horror sensibility.
