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 […]

Short stories in comic form.

The Sandman, Vol. 3: Dream Country by Neil Gaiman

December 3, 2019 by narfna Leave a Comment

This is essentially a short story collection in comic form. The afterword notes that Gaiman needed a break from the main storyline after finishing up The Doll’s House arc, and had a few ideas he wanted to play around with. I found all of them to be satisfying enough, but none of them really knocked my socks off, either. The standout in the collection for me was the first one, “Calliope,” in which a novelist with a terrible case of writer’s block holds one of […]
