The #1 Audible bestseller from the author of The Stone Man (shortlisted for the Audible Audiobook of the Year Award 2015)

There are hangovers, there are bad hangovers, and then there's waking up inside someone else's head. Thirty-something bartender Charlie Wilkes is faced with this dilemma when he wakes up to find himself trapped inside The Black Room - a space consisting of impenetrable darkness and a huge, ethereal screen floating in its center. It is through this screen that he sees the world of his female host, Minnie.

How did he get there? What has happened to his life? And how can he exist inside the mind of a troubled, fragile, but beautiful woman with secrets of her own? Uncertain whether he's even real or if he's just a figment of his host's imagination, Charlie must enlist Minnie's help if he is to find a way out of The Black Room, where the light of the screen goes out every time Minnie closes her eyes….

In The Darkness, That's Where I'll Know You tells the complete story of The Black Room, parts one to four. It contains all of the adventures of Charlie and Minnie, guaranteed to keep the listener on the edge of his or her seat.

A friend once summed up the quality I like so much in Richard Matheson's writing as "Ordinary people in extraordinary situations." The same applies to Luke Smitherd's writing, which explains why I've binged my way through all of his books on Audible.

It's hard to pin a genre to these ; they're not really full on sci fi or fantasy, rather they're the journey of believable, engaging everyday characters dealing with a world inexplicably tilted on its axis.

Whatever genre it is, it works for me.

Highly recommended

Great, well tested complexity. Also, really well read by the author, even managed to sound a bit like matt addis ;0)

Awesome story

I've just downloaded another of Luke Smitherd's titles and have no doubt that it will be a great listen as well

Fabulous, loved it!

I don't buy much fiction but this was great -which doesn't do it justice but I'm not an author haha.
I like the genuine element of the reader's voice who feels almost like a guide at times.
Starts quick and unravels logically.
Recommend to anybody wanting an audio equivalent of a page turner. Listened all day in the car and then cooked and did the dishes in the wireless cans. Binged and now have to wait for a next one. Cons: Not one to try to fall asleep too.

Great Fiction.

I recommend this book highly as a genuinely unique take on a thriller, completely unusual idea that gripped me from beginning to end. Though to call it a thriller wrongly limits it to one genre, as it effortlessly blurs several and is highly enjoyable for that. Fast-paced and intense, this for me was simply a really enjoyable story, at times charming and scary in equal measure. I particularly appreciated the brief narrative from the author at the end giving an insight into some of his process.

Fascinating premise, did not disappoint
