Enter the Dreaming again as the blockbuster audio adaptation of “the greatest epic in the history of comic books” continues in The Sandman: Act II. James McAvoy returns to voice Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, in this sequel to the number-one New York Times audio best seller. Journey into a world of myths, imagination, and terror based on the best-selling DC comic books and graphic novels written by Neil Gaiman (returning as the Narrator), and lose yourself in another groundbreaking, immersive drama adapted and directed by the award-winning audio master Dirk Maggs.

In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and beyond. New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.

Just close your eyes and listen again as the greatest epic continues.

Act II of the audio series The Sandman adapts collected volumes four (Season of Mists) and five (A Game of You) of the comics in their entirety, and most of volume six (Fables & Reflections).

I'm constantly amazed

Over the years, I have developed a healthy appreciation for the razor sharp, creative, impish mind of Neil Gaiman. I try to enjoy a broad range of authors, but a new work by Mr. Gaiman never ceases to peak my interest and very, very rarely disappoints. That said, I can't imagine what it must be to propose converting a graphic concept piece, like The Sandman, into a spoken word work of art. That's just what has happened in this offering. Thankfully for all of us who chose to spend our 13 hours in thie variety of worlds created by these talented people. I have to imagine that each and every one of these A list actors chuckled softly to themselves, quietly acknowledging that this is why they chose to do what they do. Gaiman is likely the pinnacle of creative minds to me, who has, once again, crafted a timeless gem. The actors were masterful. It kind of makes me think what it must have felt like for my relatives, before tv, huddling around the radio for a new installment of their favorite show. It's just so good! I want to bottle Neil Gaiman's psyche and love of mythology and sprikle it in my morning coffee. I couldn't have liked it more. Now, I want them to craft a graphic novel so I can see how my dream gets interpreted again and again. This might rival American Gods and that's saying a whole lot!

Amazing

The cast of this reading knock it out of the park again! I loved it!

part one and part two are pretty damn excellent

I usually don't need written reviews but really well done and worth listening to the first one was free then it got me all tucked in there and I just wanted to hear the next one it kind of got a little I don't know out there at the end that's what I was going for if you write 4 in stuff about God's all that it's pretty interesting. worth the listen

Great stories, great Narration

A wonderful set of stories that kept me wanting more.
An amazing cast of narrators. It allowed me to be in the stories with the characters.

loved it!

great voice actors amazing stories! Neil Gaiman is a genius can't get enough of the Sandman!!!

Wonderful

This was absolutely lovely. The stories are very disjointed and some of them are kind of disturbing actually but at the same time they are really good and it’s just wonderful to listen to them one at a time, be immersed into that one story.

DONE IT AGAIN!

I'm a huge fan of sandman! I have read graphic novels multiple times and I never get bored of it!
The audible adaptation is amazing and the cast is wonderful! HIGHLY RECOMMEND & NEIL GAIMAN IS THE GOAT

And the hits just keep coming…

As immensely entertaining as Act I, this installment of Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Sandman’ has more “short stories” than Act I (in keeping with its comic/graphic novel brethren). James McAlvoy still shines as Morpheus/Dream. Kat Dennings delights as his sister, Death. The casting is superb, and I could listen to Gaiman narrate a telephone directory.

Excellent Performance

The performance of The Sandman: Act II was excellent. The actors who played the characters were well-chosen and did a great job. The theme music was also perfect for the story. I have read the complete set of The Sandman graphic novels, but I could listen to this performance again and again.

Great continuation from Act 1

Act 1 was so well done, and Act 2 delivered as well. Great voice work by everyone, and the continuation of some characters story arcs from Act 1 was a enjoyable surprise. Throughly enjoyed this! On to Act 3
