House of Mystery Vol. 1: Room and Boredom

An intriguing premise with a lot of questions to answer for. I was really pulled in by this strange house where all these people seem to be trapped and the main characters attempts to get out of it. I also liked the fact that they paid their bar tab with stories - although the success of the stories varied. I really got a Sandman's World's End vibe from this, but with not quite as successful storytelling. I found the stories people told less interesting than the main story unfortunately. So many questions as well. What is the house, why are they trapped there, who are the Conception, where do they all go when they leave the bar. For a first volume I found it had too many questions and not enough answers, but was intriguing enough that I will definitely continue with the series and see where it is all headed.
