Now only the really tragic sections of the story are left

Sandman, Act III by Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs

December 31, 2022 by Malin 8 Comments

4.5 stars Act III of the full-cast audio adaptation of The Sandman was suddenly released with what felt like absolutely no fanfare or previous advertising. Suddenly, one day, it was just there on Audible. This installment covers the two collections Brief Lives and World’s End, as well as some of the stories collected in the anthology volume Fables and Reflections (the very first volume I ever read). It means we finally get the full and tragic story of Dream’s son Orpheus and his beloved Euridyce, […]

A Surprise, to Be Sure, but a Welcome One

The Sandman Act II (Audio Production) by Neil Gaiman; Dick Maggs

The Sandman Act III (Audio Production) by Neil Gaiman; Dick Maggs

November 8, 2022 by LittlePlat 6 Comments

As I admitted during my review of The Sandman Act I, I am aware that these productions are really pushing the limits of what an audiobook is. But since they are such close adaptions of the original graphic novels, and are tied together with heavy use of a narrator (Gaiman himself), I think it is fair to say that they still count.  I loved Act I very much, but I really didn’t get around to listening to Act II until earlier this year, as part […]

I am a passenger. I am moving through your dreams, all of your dreams. And you never knew

The Sandman (Audio Production) by Neil Gaiman

December 9, 2020 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

Neil Gaiman refuses to call this an audiobook. And look, he’s not half wrong, it’s more of an audio play than anything else. But for the purpose of reviews, I’m going to treat this as a book. And no matter how we characterise it, this is a bloody marvellous piece of work, and one of the most pleasantly surprising things to come out of 2020. The premise is a bit daunting when you think about it: a comic book is a very visual medium that […]

How do you adapt a comic book into an audiobook? (Bingo #7)

Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman

The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman

Dream Country by Neil Gaiman

October 1, 2020 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars #CBR12 Bingo: Happy (I never thought that Sandman could be adapted into an audio story, so this made me very happy indeed) Official book description: 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 […]
