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.

Another solid and entertaining volume! I loved Brief Lives so much. Delirium was so much fun. The last chapter hit me like a slap in the face
A little disappointed in the stories in the third volume. Still great work, but not as exemplary as the first two acts.
I enjoyed Brief Lives and Dream/Derilium's journey throughout it! Not as strong as the first one, but I still enjoyed it! Took me awhile to get through it.
The audio quality and immersion in this is absolutely top notch, but the story itself is so disjointed. My understanding is that’s also how the comics are, but at least that has visual cues to help you follow things. I still really enjoyed it and if more come out, I’ll give them a listen, but not sure I’d actively recommend it to anyone who wasn’t already interested.
