THE DEAD DON'T SLEEP

Dead Ahead Books

People think the end of the world cured us of our worst habits. It didn't. It just raised the stakes. I’m Ray Corbin. I run Corbin Salvage & Retrieval out of a third-floor office in a ruined city. I go into the dark, rotter-infested corners of the world to dig up whatever the clients are willing to pay for in hard currency. The Dead Don't Sleep is the record of those jobs. It's an audio drama about the grifters, the dead, and the ugly math of survival. Tune in, keep your head on a swivel, and remember—in this city, miracles are just snake-oil, and the bill always comes due.

A hard-boiled, survival-horror audio drama from the Zombie Podcast Network. Listen now on zompod.com or anywhere you get your podcasts.

9 - NO TRICK LEFT TO PLAY
In a walled-off, post-apocalyptic San Francisco where the elite pretend the world hasn't ended, scavenger Ray Corbin makes a deadly mistake: he fails a job. After a violent clash with the undead in the wasteland costs him a priceless bottle of vintage champagne meant for ruthless mob boss Leo Vargo, Ray is handed an impossible ultimatum. He has twenty-four hours to find an artifact of equal value, or he'll be buried alive in the concrete foundation of the city's new perimeter wall. Just as Ray realizes the quarantine zone has become a cage and prepares to flee for his life, a mysterious, fragile stranger knocks on his office door—potentially offering a desperate way out, or sealing his brutal fate for good.

TRAILER: THE DEAD DON'T SLEEP
In a city ruled by the dead and the corrupt, a cynical survivor and a terrified romantic walk into the ultimate death trap. Ray Corbin has survived the San Francisco wasteland for three years by sticking to two unbreakable rules: never take risks, and never believe in fairy tales. But when a naive file clerk named Penny Finch straps on a makeshift suit of rusted tin armor to rescue the woman he loves, Ray finds himself dragged headfirst into a suicide mission. Hunted by ruthless mob enforcers and surrounded by hundreds of dormant "sleepers" inside the ruined Palace of Fine Arts, Ray and Penny must rely on a desperate mix of grit, heavy iron, and impossible hope. Will the Noir Knight save his princess, or will the fog finally claim them all? A hard-boiled, survival-horror audio drama from the Zombie Podcast Network.
