Hailed by the Los Angeles Times Magazine as “the greatest epic in the history of comic books”, The Sandman changed the game with its dark, literary world of fantasy and horror - creating a global, cultural phenomenon in the process. At long last, Audible and DC present the first-ever audio production of the New York Times best-selling series written by acclaimed storyteller Neil Gaiman (who also serves as co-executive producer). Adapted and directed by multi-award-winner (and frequent Gaiman collaborator) Dirk Maggs, and performed by an ensemble cast with James McAvoy (It, Parts One and Two, X-Men: First Class, Split) in the title role, this first installment of a multi-part original audio series will transport you to a world that re-writes the rules of audio entertainment the way that The Sandman originally re-defined the graphic novel.
When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence. As the multi-threaded story unspools, The Sandman descends into Hell to confront Lucifer (Michael Sheen), chases rogue nightmares who have escaped his realm, and crosses paths with an array of characters from DC comic books, ancient myths, and real-world history, including: Inmates of Gotham City's Arkham Asylum, Doctor Destiny, the muse Calliope, the three Fates, William Shakespeare (Arthur Darvill), and many more.
A powerhouse supporting cast helps translate this masterwork into a sonic experience worthy of its legacy, including Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, Andy Serkis, and more. Setting the stage for their performance is an unprecedented cinematic soundscape featuring an original musical score by British Academy Award winner James Hannigan. Fans will especially revel in a new twist for the audio adaptation: Neil Gaiman himself serves as the narrator. Follow him as he leads listeners along a winding path of myths, imagination and, often, terror. Even in your wildest dreams, you’ve never heard anything like this.

Editorial Review
Fall deep into the enchanting and twisted world of The Sandman. Let yourself be swept away in this dark and dreamy tale of storytelling and entrapment that will ensnare any adult listener.
From comic book royalty Neil Gaiman comes the grim fantasy The Sandman. Follow the journey of Dream (AKA Lord Morpheus) through his capture, containment, and escape from an Earthly prison. After exacting revenge on his captors, Dream sets about rebuilding the Dreaming realm and restoring its former grandeur. Gaiman weaves a tale of this unexpected antihero, effortlessly merging urban fantasy, mythology, and history with the gritty and raw reality of the DC comic world. A tangled web of storylines entices the listener with unpausable action and a gripping narrative that can’t be ignored.
Gaiman himself narrates this epic with the true passion of a writer. The Sandman is a multicast audio masterpiece featuring award-winning screen and voice actors who inhabit the personified mythical entities with power and authority. The diverse and star-studded cast lends dynamic and emphatic voices, truly bringing the words and characters to life. James McAvoy, no stranger to both the horror and comic worlds, lends his seasoned voice to the title role with a commanding and emphatic flare. Alongside him, Gaiman regular Michael Sheen voices Lucifer, and famed voice actor Andy Serkis is Matthew.
Just as The Sandman graphic novel was a revolution in its genre, this audiobook is a master in its field. It has instantly become a fan favourite and resonates with listeners worldwide. The unique and complex storyline combined with an all-star cast of narrators makes The Sandman truly unmissable and unpausable.
