![]() The Lord of Dreams is dragged from the dream realm he is the personification of into a criminal cult on Earth, an overture to a chain of events that pulls Lucifer, Doctor Destiny and many more into the mix. The Sandman is the story of Lord Morpheus (one of The Endless, alongside Death, Despair, Destiny, Delirium, Destruction and Desire). A frankly stunning story told in two acts (not to mention downright terrifying, those Dream Hunters, yikes), The Sandman is Neil Gaiman comic books and graphic novels at their very best. The first-ever audiobook adaptation of this New York Times bestseller (presented by Audible and DC Comic Books) features a whole cast of some awe-inspiring voices, from James McAvoy (Morpheus) to Riz Ahmed (the Corinthian) via Kat Dennings (Death), Taron Egerton (John Constantine), Andy Sekis (Matthew the Raven) Michael Sheen (Lucifer) and more. The Sandman is fantasy and horror blended in that inimitable Gaiman style, a dark take on the characters of DC comic books married with real history, ancient myths and plenty more.
