About this listen

You never know what's hiding under your bed....

At twenty-four, Cody has already lost hope of having a life of his own. All his time is spent playing nurse to a dying, spiteful stepfather and maid to his bully half-brother. His only escapes are playing his favorite online fantasy game, Black Oasis, and talking to the strange, unearthly presence under his bed that may or may not actually exist.

Everything changes when his nightly visitor, who introduces himself as Nor, starts talking back.

As their connection deepens, Nor invites Cody into the surreal world existing just beyond his nightmares, filled with haughty demons, passion-killing pet bugs named Gef, and a dark landscape that is oddly familiar. With his sweet but monstrous companion by his side, Cody might finally gain the life of freedom and adventure that he's always wanted.

Join Nor and Cody as they unearth the true meaning of hope, passion, and love of endless depths that spans between worlds in Whispers in the Dark, the first book in Knight and Mayne's co-authored queer, monster romance series, Black Oasis.

Whispers in the Dark is an M/M monster romance full of hurt/comfort, angst, humor, and sweet, spicy love between a redheaded Texan and his precious six-fingered Deepdweller. For mature listeners.

Gotta love essentially a boogie man romance .

You just gotta love what is essentially a bogeyman Romance. The story was quite intriguing and both the main protagonist and his romance had distinct and fun personalities. They did a good job with the story portraying a character who felt a sense of obligation to his abusive family. This felt very authentic to me. A lot of people often times question why people stay in these abusive situations when they have no need to do so. But they did a good job of portraying this correctly. Being that the character had the barrier of poverty, was actively discouraged from socially engaging with others. And a sense of obligation was instilled in him to protect and take care of his abusers. He was gaslit into believing he deserved this treatment and felt that he owed his family for having kept him alive up to that point. Meanwhile, the family was incapable of doing the bare minimum Their child. The romance was fun, cute and engaging and progressed at a steady pace, so it didn’t feel forced or rushed, but it also was not drawn out or obnoxious. I hope to read or listen to more stories in this world. If you enjoy monster lover romances, this is definitely worth a listen or read. Strong recommend.
