Cain and Abel are often in each others houses, and it was they who discovered Morpheus upon his return to the dreaming after his captivity in the waking world. In 2008, Matthew Sturges began a spin-off series entitled, House of Mystery, which opened with Cain noticing his House has gone missing. The series follows individuals who have become trapped inside the House, and the House's journey as Cain tries to take back what's his.
