BEGINNING JULY 8, SELECT FANS WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO HAVE THEIR WILDEST DREAMS DRAWN BY SOME OF THE ESTEEMED COMIC ARTISTS BEHIND THE GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES

WHAT:

Audible Inc., the world’s largest producer and provider of spoken-word entertainment and audiobooks, and DC announced they will be offering The Sandman fans the opportunity to have their wildest dreams come to life through their new campaign, Drawn from The Dreaming.

This hotline is narrated by creator Neil Gaiman who serves as fans’ guide through the Drawn from The Dreaming experience. Selected fan-submitted dreams will be illustrated by a top DC artist, possibly one of the original artists from the graphic novels.

Dream drawings will be featured in an Instagram dream gallery, @DrawnFromTheDreaming, and fans will be tagged in their customized artwork. Everyone who submits a dream will be rewarded with an exclusive free audio episode from The Sandman, including a brief overview of the story so far, told by Neil Gaiman himself, only on Audible.

Adapted and directed by Dirk Maggs and narrated by Neil Gaiman, who serves as creative director and co-executive producer, The Sandman Audible Original features a powerhouse cast led by James McAvoy and includes Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Bebe Neuwirth, Michael Sheen, Andy Serkis, and more.

Hey, I'm Clare, aka Ciara or C. My current fandoms are RWBY and The Last Kingdom along with a bunch of other stuff I tend to let build up and then binge! I'm a keen, albeit amateur, cosplayer and love attending cons in various cosplays. I'm also the resident comic book girl around these parts, especially small press comics, so if you've got an indie book you want reviewed, I'm your gal! When I'm not doing the fangirl thing I am a keen long-distance hiker, having completed Te Araroa in New Zealand and The Pacific Crest Trail on the West Coast of the US.
