Publisher's Summary

Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. Just like the original graphic novels, this audio adaptation contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong sexual content and themes. Discretion is advised.

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).

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Will not disappoint. Just as good as the first.

Overall the cast is amazing again. The story is lacking a little compared to the first story. But that doesn’t take away from the solid overall production here. No other Ensemble audiobook stands up to this quality it’s just beautiful.

There is a review on here that gave this audiobook one star across the board. I can’t understand why that review has not been deleted. It’s clearly a troll trying to bring down the rating on this great audiobook.

Could Not Stop Listening

Grew up with these stories. I loved the actors who voiced the characters! James McAvoy, thank you for bringing Morpheus to life...
I will not ruin my love for the Dandman by watching the TV series- the books are always better and who needs more 'Hollyweird'.

Neil Gaiman is a genius story teller

I have enjoyed everything I have read of his works.
I also enjoy that he narrates all his own work, I could listen to him read the dictionary.

Solid follow-up.

As the original, the cast performances were fantastic. As it is an anthology, every story probably won't be for everyone. I loved the opening storyline, but Gift of You towards the end of the book I could have done without. overall, if you enjoyed the original, you'll enjoy this one. I am looking forward to Act 3.

More of this please!

Wonderfully acted and the world is rich and alive. I only wish that more of it was about Morpheus as the main character instead of a bit part in an anthology like series. Here’s hoping act 3 comes out sooner rather than later
