Description

Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. Just like the original graphic novels, this audio adaptation contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong sexual content and themes. Discretion is advised.

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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"James McAvoy leads an all-star cast in narrating this magnificent audio adaptation of Neil Gaiman's iconic graphic novel series, The Sandman.... As listeners are swept up in a saga in which cats talk and nightmares walk, McAvoy's steady characterization reminds them that it’s all in a day's work for him. While the cast members are exquisite, special mention goes to the production staff. The sound effects are immersive, and there is a wonderful cinematic score. This audio drama is compelling. Listeners won’t be able to pause once they hit play." (AudioFile magazine)

Overproduced

This book is an audible *performance* of a comic book and does not read like a normal novel. Scenes are not explained, and instead they are heard through ambience and explanation. I love the comic series and the story, but this audio account of it is not for me. If you're truly curious about the Sandman story, try it as a graphic novel and enjoy the art. As for an Audible experience? 1 star.

Solid Gold

This is every Neil Gaiman fans dream come true. The cast knocks it out of the park. The music is fantastic. The story is obviously top notch. Hope this won’t be the last of it.

Trying to hard

a plot that dosen't really add up or go anywhere.

the whole thing laced with edge teenage level gore or brutally or gender and sex tipics to try and make them seem real.

and alot if detours around unimportant characters.

also the music is too loud for headphones. it really didnt need any music.

A Collection

Overall, this was a good audiobook. The narrating was amazing. The multiple voices and sound effects really added to the immersive experience. I found the story to be a little difficult to follow and confusing in the beginning. This was less of a novel and more of a collection of stories from the comic series.

Shockingly awful

The first couple hours were fantastic, the cast was great and story flowed well. The entire rest of this audiobook was TERRIBLE. There was no story. Instead it was like each chapter was it's own storyline that was completely random and didn't relate back to the main character whatsoever. Tried to finish it but genuinely couldn't. It's a terrible shame because the cast did an excellent job and the opening music was very compelling. The story just disintegrated so quickly and there are way too many characters who aren't relevant to anything and too many random chapters of bullshit. I am extremely baffled as to how the fuck this has a five star rating.

Pointless?

Awesome production! Just only have a storyline that went anywhere for the first half... Then rambled into pointless short skits- then it just ends!! I kept hoping it would circle back to SOMETHING- some kind of direction that made any sense.. It didn't....

Amazing production, story drops off after first arch

Outstanding voice work, music, and sound overall. The story is great too, but drops off once the first arch is complete. It then becomes a series of one off tales, which are good but not as compelling as the first narrative.

Exactly what I hoped for!

This was done so amazingly well. The voice acting is excellent and the story feels just as magical as the books. I really hope the rest of the series is made into audiobook form.... I got a little sad when I realized it only covers the first major arc.

Honestly, somewhat disappointing.

Neil Gaiman is one of my top 10 favourite writers… I never did read the graphic novels, and then I suspect is the flaw here. Aside from production sound level qualities which were distracting I don’t think the material translated very well from one medium to another. Glimpses of brilliance to be expected from Neil overall, somewhat disappointing.:[
