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.

    The Dead Don't Sleep: The Leviathan "I have one unbreakable rule out here in the San Francisco ruins: if the payout is too high, the catch is usually fatal. When a guy in clean clothes drops a king's ransom on my desk for a simple snatch-and-grab, I should have shown him the door. Instead, I ignored the math. The target was a reinforced CDC cooler buried deep inside the belly of The Leviathan, a massive cargo freighter that ran aground near Alcatraz three years ago. It was supposed to be a quick trip. But when a rogue wave shatters your only ride home, the math changes fast. Now, I'm stranded on a sinking ghost ship in the middle of a storm. Trapped in a claustrophobic steel maze with a half-mad quartermaster speaking in nautical riddles, I have to fight my way through a waterlogged crew of the infected who refuse to stay dead. The hull is breaking apart, the horde is awake, and the freezing bay is a death sentence. I'm Ray Corbin. I'm about to find out exactly what a miracle costs in a dying world... and whether this payday is finally the one that puts me in the ground."

    13 - I'M RAY CORBIN

    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.
