Publisher's summary

A cop interrogates a perp in a lizard costume that seems all too real.

An all-powerful superhero protects his city - and they better like it.

An average Joe finds out that being undead isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

Including three never-before-published stories, Dead Men Can't Complain is the first-ever collection of short fiction by Peter Clines, author of 14, The Fold, and other Audible smash hits. Combining equal parts geekery and humor with the occasional dash of horror, Dead Men Can't Complain is ideal for Clines fans eagerly awaiting his next novel - or for brand-new listeners discovering this Audible favorite for the first time.

Readers Shan't Complain Either

Wonderful collection... Weirdly eclectic and amusing.... You've got your aliens, zombies, superheroes, artificial beings, werewolves, lawmen, mad scientists, etc... I liked all the stories, which can be unusual for some collections, and loved most... If you like the author's other works you'll definitely enjoy... If you haven't read him this would be a nice introduction... There's a nice post "Ex" story in here, and many w/ wonderful twists and reveals... The performance is fantastic...

Great collection.

I have read a few of Mr. Clines books prior this and this is up with the best. This is a great collection of stories with great performances by the narrators. Hint: He even manages to work in references to some of his prior work.

harkens to The Outer limits, Weird Tales

Addicting from the first story, Ray Porter and Peter Clines have created an audible experience that harkens to The Outer limits, Twilight Zone, and Weird Tales

Awesome stories, great narration

I was sucked into each story, great twists and turns and love how everything wraps up at the end. I don't remember how I discovered this author but will be getting more of his books for sure. And BY FAR the best narration I've heard on an Audible book - hands down!

Brilliant and imaginative. Well worth your time.

Each story was good with most being great. Several had a cinematic feel to them and The width and depth of Clines’ imagination are on full display. From the plight of the undead to the misadventures of time-traveling lizards...it’s all here. Great writing and narration make for a fun ride that is well worth the credit.

Stories that you will love.

This book is simply fun and a joy to listen to. Ray Porter might be the best narrator on audible. Peter Clines never disappoints with any book he’s written. Get this book.
