Do I need to listen to the first season before starting this one?

Impact Winter Season 2

Horror Paranormal

Published: 2023
Language: English

Impact Winter Season 2 continues Travis Beacham's Audible Original audio drama set in a Britain buried under a nuclear winter, where the perpetual darkness has allowed vampires to reclaim the surface and human survivors cling to fortified enclaves underground.

Six months have passed since the Vampire Queen fell silent. The truce that followed is thin, and the community around Hope Hospital must decide whether to consolidate what little safety it has or push outward into territory the vampires still hold. Old alliances strain, and the cost of the first season's victory becomes clearer as the season unfolds.

Produced as a full-cast audio drama rather than a narrated novel, the season leans on soundscape and performance, and is best approached after Season 1.
