For Joey Peacock (Jack Kilmer), life as a vampire in 1978 New York City isn’t half bad. He lives in the tunnels of the city with his unconventional family led by the fearsome Margaret McMannis (Minnie Driver) and spends his evenings reveling in the abundant pleasures the city has to offer. That is, until one night, when Joey witnesses something on a routine subway ride that turns his world upside-down.

Adapted from the acclaimed 2014 novel, THE LESSER DEAD is an 8 episode 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 — an irreverent, eternally-young 19-year-old — introduces us to his unconventional family and its formidable leader, Margaret McMannis, 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 changes
their world forever.
This isn't a story about nice people doing nice things. Most of it happens someplace dark and damp where good people don’t go.
This is a place with monsters. Real ones.
