The Lesser Dead, an uncompromising horror audio drama podcast series, is now available for free on all podcast platforms. The official launch includes behind-the-scenes episodes featuring interviews with the cast, writers, and makers of the series to reveal the thinking behind the 1970s-set urban vampire tale.
The Lesser Dead is an immersive audio drama about a disparate group of vampires living in the wild-and-wooly world of 1978 New York City. Our narrator Joey Peacock (Jack Kilmer) — an irreverent, eternally-young 19-year-old — introduces us to his unconventional family and its formidable leader, Margaret McMannis (Minnie Driver), who has built a home for all of them under the subways of the city. Margaret's strict rules have kept them safe and secure for decades… Until one night when Joey's discovery of three little kid vampires turns their world upside-down forever.

When we reviewed The Lesser Dead, we called it "An impressive vampire horror drama podcast series adapted from Christopher Buehlman's novel that is about cool, sexy or glamourous vampires but the horrible, bad people they are in an atmospheric and gritty recreation of 1970s New York City, filled with star performances that elevate the story as it dives deep into real horror, not the comforting, escapist feel-good horror of mainstream Hollywood movies. To listen to The Lesser Dead is to have a movie play in your head that's a refreshing throwback to proper horror stories that don't pull punches, where tragedy and helplessness unfold in that delicious way that horror is supposed to do. It doesn't comfort you. It unsettles and disturbs, and unlike most audio dramas, it leaves a lingering disquiet."
The Lesser Dead is now available on the usual podcast platforms.
