Very much a mixed bag of stories from the Sandman Universe. There are some that fit right at home within the larger world Gaiman has created and others that seem a bit too overly cryptic for their own good. "Chain Home, Low" and "Ain't You Most Done?" were a slog to get through and I really didn't mesh with their writing styles. I would have loved "Mender of Broken Dreams" more if it didn't go for the "people with autism are fundamentally broken and have damaged minds" angle. There were some that make it worth keeping however:

"Stronger than Desire" is a sweet story about one of Desire's games (of which there are many in this collection). Which is stronger, the basest desire or everlasting love? Is there a difference? Do they flow naturally flow into each other? Are they the same name for a single experience?

"Splatter" is probably my favorite of the lot. A horror novelist finds himself at a convention for serial killers. Even if it wasn't tied to the Sandman world, this would be an amazing set up and has a great, disturbing payoff. I'd say if you had to read any story from this anthology, choose this one. Takes place during "The Doll's House."

"Seven Nights in Slumberland" is a sweet homage to Little Nemo. A natural crossover that would charm any dreamer.

"An Extra Smidgen of Eternity" gives us more Wanda, who appeared in "A Game of You," and I'm all for it. Wanda has another story in this collection that focuses on her childhood, but I enjoyed this one a bit more. Really encapsulates the power of stories that is such a big theme throughout the Sandman series. 

"Stopp't-Clock Yard" probably has the best characterization of Morpheus in this collection. A proud, somewhat vengeful, but patient being that hardly tolerates those that meddle with his realm. 

This is definitely a collection where you can hop around and read what interests instead of going straight through.
