I've loved the comics for a long time, and this audio adaptation more than did them justice.  I'm excited to listen to the rest!

Very strong trigger warning for

"Calliope" as the rape scene in it has sound affects. "24 hours" is also tough as the violence has sound effects too. I personally could handle that better.

Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I rarely am able to stay focused enough to listen to an audio book. The Sandman, with its sound effects and full cast (kind of a modern radio play) managed to not only retain my attention, but also for the first time in years I listened to something at an almost normal speed. I want to know anything and everything about how the mind of Mr. Gaiman works. His story was absolutely enthralling
