Torn from his realm, The Sandman - Morpheus, the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - was imprisoned on earth for decades. On escaping he must restore his power, descend into hell to face Lucifer, chase rogue nightmares, visit a serial killer convention and cross paths with characters from DC comic books, ancient myths, and real-world history.
Audible and DC present the first in a series of audio adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s best-selling graphic novels, adapted and directed by multi-award-winner Dirk Maggs, performed by an ensemble cast with James McAvoy (X-Men; It) in the title role, and accompanied by an original score by James Hannigan. As narrator, Neil Gaiman will lead you through this dark, literary world in a twisting fantasy journey of myth, imagination and terror.

I've really enjoyed this adaptation and would love to see more--not just more Sandman audibles, but also more BTS on the adaptation process. Going from the solely visual medium of the comic book to the solely aural medium of an audiobook is quite a transition, and I'd love to hear more from Gaiman, Maggs, and the actors on strategies for doing that. It's a recreation, a translation almost, but also incredibly faithful to the comics. Greatly enjoyed this.

@Invaderbob7 3 жыл бұрын

I've said it once and I'll say it again. This audio experience is the stuff of dreams. Ever since listening to the podcast 'Halo: Hunt The Truth', I've been struggling to find an audio experience of storytelling with the same level of production, immersion, and voice acting that I experienced so viscerally. Every chore, every meal cooked, every task taken was infact the background noise to this journey, not the other way around. My only regret is to be robbed of hearing it for the first time ever again. I hope more of Morpheus's tales are explored with the same quality and passion by this very same team in the future. Knowing the current state of things, I know it's unlikely, but a man can dream.

And I am glad that there are translation versions-as Korean. That said, that book is really well known and I found out they were translated in 2009. Plus even though I didn't very think of audiobook, but here James' Dream voice is so convincing and it does powerful, with a decent eerie feeling. That's a quite quality..

Now I'm a big fan of Neil Gaiman! Believe it or not, he did an episode of Doctor Who during Matt Smith's tenure as the 11th Doctor. Then, he co-authored Good Omens with Terry Pratchett. I plan on investing in anything he writes. I highly recommend The Sandman and American Gods, and the rest of his books.
