Summary

The groundbreaking audio production of what Los Angeles Times Magazine called “the greatest epic in the history of comic books” continues. Leading perhaps the best cast ever assembled in audio, James McAvoy returns to voice Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, in The Sandman: Act III, the third installment of the New York Times best-selling audio saga. Award-winning audio trailblazer Dirk Maggs adapts the blockbuster DC graphic novel series written by Neil Gaiman (Good Omens) into another fully immersive listening experience, presented for the first time in breathtaking 3D audio.

In Act III, we follow Morpheus on a grand journey to take care of family business. He visits with his son Orpheus (Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page), an act that brings with it profound consequences. Accompanied by Delirium (Kristen Schaal, Bob’s Burgers), he tracks down their estranged brother, Destruction (David Harewood, Supergirl), the only member of the Endless ever to abandon their post. And at an inn at the intersection of all worlds, a group of travelers are forced together by a storm that threatens to destroy reality itself, with grave repercussions for Morpheus and the rest of the Endless.

All the original cast returns, including Kat Dennings as Death, Aidan Turner as Cluracan, and Neil Gaiman himself as The Narrator, joined by Harewood and other new cast members Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), KJ Apa (Riverdale), Shruti Haasan (Race Gurram), and more.

It’s time to close your eyes and listen. Once again.

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.

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

Oh wow

So so thrilled that this is back for Act 3! Another fantastic & immersive production that is utterly heartbreaking, funny & mind boggling.

Beautifully cast & performed - it is quite the feat to bring a visual medium alive into purely audible form. The music & sound production is so evocative- I get goosebumps every time I hear the main music score! It is totally engrossing. I’m going to dive straight back in & listen through from Act 1!

Totally immersive

The quality just gets better and better. Dirk Magg’s production is off the scale and is so cinematic.

Mesmerising

Would be worth it just to listen to Rege-Jean Page singing Orpheus’s song. It is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Simply Brilliant!

If you enjoyed the first two parts as much as I did you’ll love part three. Great production and acting throughout. Simply brilliant.
