The Sandman Act III covers the Orpheus Sandman Special, Brief Lives, and the Short Stories at World's End. Having recently read Stephen Fry's Mythos to my kids meant that all the greek mythology references are no longer lost to me. As usual, Gaiman's long story arc (Brief Lives) isn't as good as the shorter works in this work, though I find the Inn at World's End to be a notch below any of the previous sequence of short stories. But the production quality is nothing short of amazing, and I loved the lush sound of the series --- this is a series to listen to with both headphones in your ears and as little interruption as possible.
The unfortunate thing is that I don't know whether Act IV is coming --- there are only two volumes of the entire series left --- The Kindly Ones and The Wake. I hope Amazon renews the series just so I can have the complete series in audio book format.
