About this listen
In a world where the mundane and the macabre collide, Joshua finds himself at the crossroads of two realms—one a weary reflection of modern America, the other a haunting echo of its post-apocalyptic demise. When he inherits a dilapidated house from his estranged father, along with the cottage his father leaves him a note and a mysterious skeleton key, remnants of a life long lost and a legacy he never wanted.
As Joshua steps into the crumbling walls of his inheritance, the air thick with dust and memories, he is drawn into a chilling mystery that transcends time and space. The house, with its peeling wallpaper and creaking floorboards, holds secrets that whisper of a past he cannot escape.
When Joshua inadvertently unlocks the door to the post-apocalyptic realm, he is thrust into a nightmare where the city he once knew lies in ruins, overrun by mindless undead creatures. Desperation claws at him as he navigates the shattered streets, the echoes of his own heartbeat drowned out by the moans of the damned. With every step, he grapples with the weight of survival, the haunting realization that the key to his father’s legacy may also be the key to his own undoing.
In this harrowing tale of horror and survival, Joshua must confront the darkness within himself and the terrifying reality of a world gone mad all for the financial security that the Apocalypse can provide him. he learns that some doors should never be opened, and some legacies are better left buried.

Story
Could the Founding Fathers have created a better, more enduring republic? What would you say to them if you could go back in time? What warnings would you give? For Harry Brown, a young and passionate libertarian with a deep love for economics and history, these questions are more than academic—they are an obsession. Harry often debates with friends about how the framers might have better safeguarded the Constitution against those who seek to concentrate federal power for their own ends.

Story
Eight years ago, we had our first extraterrestrial visitors. But they did not come in peace. Instead, they released a virus that transformed most of Earth’s population into undead monsters, and few who survived the initial onslaught were prepared for the chaos that followed. Somehow I survived the end of the world, and since then, I’ve just been trying to make it to each sunrise. But then my sister went missing. Last I heard, she was in a compound several states away. Most would see the journey as a suicide mission, but she’s the last family I have, and I’m going to find her.

Story
I thought volunteering to be put into cryostasis for three days would be a great way to make some extra cash. Apparently, the rest of the world thought it would be a great time for an all-out nuclear war. Destruction was unleashed on such an incredible scale they say the very laws of physics changed. Now, massive mutants roam the city, looking for something—or someone—to eat. Violent gangs fight for control of the city's remains. Strange, human-animal hybrids are now part of our struggling societies. And perhaps strangest of all, magic is now real. Yeah, I'm still trying to process that one.
