Neil Gaiman's New York Times bestselling series The Sandman begins with this first instalment, covering the first three volumes in an epic audio journey adapted and directed by multi-award-winner Dirk Maggs. 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, 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 and many more. Follow The Sandman 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. This audio adaptation of the global phennonemon, The Sandman, stars James McAvoy as Morpheus, Michael Sheen as Lucifer and Neil Gaiman himself as the narrator, with a powerhouse supporting cast including Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, Andy Serkis and more.
