Feed Your Desire for ‘Sandman’ Stuff
Everyone’s got ‘Sandman’ on the brain thanks to the spectacular premiere of Netflix’s adaptation of the beloved Neil Gaiman comics.
The release of the new Sandman series is all anyone can talk about this week – myself included. And like any fan, where my interests go, so goes my wallet. If you’ve got the Desire for some Endless gear, here are a few of my personal favorites.
The Sandman Audiobook
Listen, hours and hours of Neil Gaiman reading aloud sounds like my version of a happy afterlife. Fortunately, he narrates the audiobook in yet another Sandman adaptation beautifully cast and performed. I’m a big fan of audiobooks – they’re more accessible for many people, and in the case of Sandman, it’s a new way to interact with a body of work I’m incredibly familiar with. Plus, the cast is incredible. James Macavoy voices Morpheus, along with Kat Dennings (Death), Michael Sheen (Lucifer), Andy Serkis (Matthew), Jeffrey Wright (Destiny), David Tennant (Loki), Bill Nighy (Odin), Kristen Schaal (Delerium), and Kevin Smith )Mervyn Pumpkinhead. John Lithgow makes my personal favorite appearance as the Emporer of America.
Death’s Ankh
Do you want to look cute in that whimsical, gothic, let’s-go-meet-your-maker kind of way? Well DC’s got your back with this sterling silver Ankh necklace on a +12-inch chain. It comes with a decorative box, so you can display it or wear it, whichever you choose. All you need from here is some black jeans, a black tank top, some eyeliner, and viola! You’re Death.
The Endless’ Sigils Charm Bracelet
I’ve always loved a good charm bracelet, but the available charms don’t usually appeal to me. But why wear a bracelet with silly things like teddy bears or butterflies when you could tote around all of the Endless sigils on your wrist? Isn’t it nice to just be able to call upon the Endless any old time? Now that’s fashion and function!

The Neil Gaiman Tarot Deck
So you love Sandman, but you also love American Gods, Good Omens, and all of his other stories. Do you also love the art of tarot? Folding the Endless and the rest of Neil’s cast of characters into your tarot practice sounds perfect, and these cards are beautiful. Featuring Aziraphale and Crowley as the Lovers, Death as herself, and so many more, this deck is absolutely stunning to look at.
These decks just opened back up for pre-order after Neil Gaiman Twitter bore witness to a really cute fan moment. The creator of the deck, inhonoredglory, Tweeted at Neil asking if they could give him a copy of the deck. Neil was, of course, very excited to receive the gift.
When I think about how lucky I’ve been (ty @neverwear!), how long I’ve dreamt of this moment, how much this meeting meant to me… god. Ive always feel weird around people & don’t connect to this culture’s definition of normal but with @neilhimself I felt so incredibly at ease 1/ pic.twitter.com/mzl3rVisSR
