A Quick Useful Blog about the Sandman Audio Project

posted by Neil Gaiman

Today, the news releases went out and now the world knows that James McAvoy is starring as Morpheus in the Audible.com adaptation of the first three volumes of Sandman, Preludes & Nocturnes, The Doll's House and Dream Country

And the rest of the cast is just as impressive. Look:


That's 68 remarkable actors, playing a lot more than 68 parts. And I'm narrating it...

It will be released on the 15th of July 2020.

The US preorder page (with a lot more information on it)  is at https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Sandman-Audiobook/B086WP794Z

The UK page is at https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Sandman-Audiobook/B086WQCVVG

The Canadian page is at https://www.audible.ca/pd/The-Sandman-Audiobook/B086WP9GS1

I've listened to the final mixes of about ten out of the twenty parts so far, and they are glorious and magical things. Dirk Maggs and I first approached the BBC about doing an audio adaptation of Sandman in 1992. They said no. I'm so glad they did, because if they had said yes we wouldn't have this...
