The Midnight Man

De: Kevin Klehr

Narrado por: Laurence Stirling Knott

Stanley is almost fifty. He hates his job, has an overbearing mother, and is in a failed relationship. Then he meets Asher, the man of his dreams, literally in his dreams.

Asher is young, captivating, and confident about his future—everything Stanley is not. So, Asher gives Stan a gift. The chance to be an extra five years younger each time they meet.

Some of their adventures are whimsical. A few are challenging. Others are totally surreal. All are designed to bring Stan closer to the moment his joyful childhood turned to tears.

But when they fall in love, Stan knows he can’t live in Asher’s dreamworld. Yet he is haunted by Asher’s invitation to “slip into eternal sleep.”

Man of Dreams

Stanley’s life has been extremely hard with an overbearing mother, haunting childhood, hating his job, and having a significant other who is definitely not his be all, end all. Then Stanely meets Asher, everything he is not and wants. Asher seduces and invites Stanely to join him in his world.

The author, Kevin Klehr, crafts a multi-layer tale filled with suspense, sex, plot twists, more sex, and internal struggles. Each character is intentionally developed allowing for the plot twists to accurately reflect the emotional depth and supernatural pieces. The romance is very detailed and graphic.

The narrator, Laurence Stirling Knott, gives a solid performance smoothly slipping into each character flawlessly and projecting an accurate emotional response. He provides a unique voice for each allowing the audience to follow a complex narrative easily.

While the book has a strong storyline, the graphic sexual content felt excessive and, for me, detracted from the plot.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
