We've seen countless stories about the dead coming back to life on Earth, but what if the same thing happened on the moon? Peter Clines explores this chilling "what if?" in his new Audible Original Dead Moon, and to celebrate the sci-fi story's recent release, we've been provided with three audio excerpts to share with Daily Dead readers!

You can listen to the Dead Moon excerpts (narrated by the Earphones Award–winning and Audie-nominated Ray Porter) below, and to learn more, visit the Audible Original's official page on Amazon.

Synopsis: "In the year 2243, the Moon belongs to the dead.

The largest graveyard in the solar system, it was the perfect solution to the overcrowding and environmental problems that had plagued mankind for centuries. And the perfect place for Cali Washington to run away from her past.

But when a mysterious meteor crashes into one of the Moon’s cemeteries, Cali and her fellow Caretakers find themselves surrounded by a terrifying enemy force that outnumbers them more than a thousand to one. An enemy not hindered by the lack of air or warmth or sustenance.

An enemy that is already dead.

Now Cali and her compatriots must fight to survive. Because if they don’t, everyone on the Moon may be joining the dead.

And maybe everyone on Earth, too...."
