Impact Winter - Podcast/Audio Drama about vampire hunters in a post-apocalyptic winter

Impact Winter is an audio drama released as an episodic podcast. It takes place in the modern world, except a comet impact has blotted out the sun. With no sun, the world has turned into an endless winter and vampires can roam freely during the day. The story is about a group of humans hiding in an abandoned castle in England, with the main character being a vampire hunter who's trying to keep them safe.

The story is pretty neat because there are essentially three types of vampire. The first type is a feral animal that simply attacks and has no humanity. The second type can pass as human long enough to trick humans into dropping their guard so they can attack. And the third type are intelligent with magic powers like shapeshifting or telepathy.

You can listen to it as an audiobook on Audible or as a podcast on Prime Music. Or you can just listen to it for free as a podcast.

It's funny, I started out listening to it on Prime Music. I had finished the first season and moved onto the second. And then the whole series disappeared from Prime Music (for me, anyway). So I moved to the RSS feed of the podcast to finish it. In each episode on Prime Music, it made sure to tell me "this series is brought to you commercial-free on Audible!" Yet when I moved to the RSS feed of the podcast, there were no commercials at all, not even ones telling me it was commercial-free thanks to Audible.

There are three seasons available right now, with the fourth season coming sometime soon. The first season mostly took place around the abandoned castle, while the second season expanded to other parts of the world and introduced some vampire house politicking. So the world really expands as it goes on.

I guess the story has been picked up for a series at Netflix and there's a one-shot of comics that serve as a prequel. Anyway, I recommend it. If you enjoy podcasts, it's a fun story.
