About this listen

A man awakens, adrift in deep space, with little memory of who he is - only to discover that he is the commander of a space mission; the rest of the crew is gone; and he is apparently a writer of some small renown named Neil Gaiman.

The Neil Gaiman at the End of the Universe is perfect for fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Black Mirror. It stars Neil Gaiman as... well, you know, and Jewel Staite (Firefly; Stargate Atlantis), and is written by Arvind Ethan David, executive producer of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

Please note: Proceeds obtained by the producer from sales of this audio project will benefit This Is My Brave, a nonprofit organization that seeks to break the stigma of mental illness, alcoholism and substance abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and more through the power of live storytelling.

Absolutely Delightful

As a long-time Gaiman fan, I already knew I'd be amused by Neil reading pretty much anything, but the story and execution were beyond my expectations. Definitely looking forward to sharing and returning to this story many times.

Short sweet spacey with a side of cheese

How important is human contact? How long before you go crazy being by yourself? A short but pleasant story. Slightly cheesy with a side of psychology.

A good 30 minute master piece of science fiction that’s well worth the intense half hour !

This is an incredibly gripping and thought provoking foreshadowing of interstellar future technology to come and was Neil Gaimans voice acting was phenomenal and well played ! There was a cool unexpected plot twist towards the end for sure 😎

I enjoyed

It was a short fun journey into the mind of Neil... maybe a peek into his inner thoughts on himself.
