Let the hauntingly beautiful prose of Mary Shelley’s The Last Man ease you into slumber as we follow Raymond’s election as Protector—a moment of triumph shadowed by quiet doubts and personal tensions. With soft, melodic narration and a gentle rhythm, this episode transforms Shelley’s post-apocalyptic vision into a soothing bedtime story, perfect for drifting off into peaceful dreams. Close your eyes, and let the words carry you away… sleep well.
