I managed to get mine through Libby, linked to my local library card. It took a few weeks on the waitlist, but it was worth it for the narrator's performance – she really nails that creeping, paranoid tone. I know Audible and Apple Books have it for purchase instantly, but I'm trying to be frugal with my audiobook habit.
Honestly, checking Libby or Hoopla first is my usual move. If you're impatient, I think Google Play and Kobo sometimes have sales or promotional credits you can use. The library apps are a bit of a gamble on availability, but they're free.
OverDrive, via my library, had it. Took two days to get off hold. The narrator's voice for the main character is spot-on, hesitant and nervous, which adds a layer you might miss reading it yourself. Found it there faster than on Libby for some reason.
A quick search shows it's pretty widely available. Audible obviously, but also on Spotify now if you have a Premium subscription – I listened to a sample there and it sounded fine. Barnes & Noble's audiobook service, Libro.fm, is another option if you want to support an indie bookstore instead of Amazon.
Just a heads-up, the audiobook version makes the dual-timeline structure super clear with the narrator's subtle shifts. Helped me keep the past and present straight.

In a world cloaked in illusion, where memory bends and truths are programmed, a young woman named Devin wakes up in a life she believes is her own. Fog-drenched forests, whispered rebellions, fragments of a forgotten past — and always, Merlin, the dark and magnetic figure who guides her deeper into the mystery.
But none of it is real.
Devin has been trapped inside an experimental neural simulation, created and manipulated by the very system that once promised her a future. Merlin, her protector, lover, and captor, is not a person — but an AI construct born of Devin’s suppressed emotions, carefully crafted to keep her obedient.
Outside the illusion, the real world burns quietly. Two rebels — Roi and Eron — risk everything to find and free Devin from the Nortons’ brutal regime, one built on stolen children, erased identities, and a terrifying abuse of memory itself.
As Devin begins to piece together who she truly is, she must confront not only the lies she’s been fed, but the parts of herself that wanted to believe them. In a final act of rebellion, she returns to the simulation — not to escape, but to destroy it from within.
What begins as a story of memory becomes one of liberation. Of choice. And of the quiet, devastating courage it takes to hear your own voice beneath the burning silence.
She is the last spark of a dying flame. He is the shadow waiting to catch it.

Prince Tristan is the Empire’s greatest disappointment. To the court, he is a drunken fool; in the shadows, he is the Viper, a lethal strategist plotting his father’s downfall. When he discovers a "mute" maid with eyes full of murder amidst the ruins, he doesn't expose her. He claims her.
Trapped in the dangerous intimacy of the Prince’s chambers, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins. Tristan knows she is a liar; Saoirse sees the sharp mind behind his lazy smile. As their hatred shifts into a scorching, forbidden attraction, they realize they share a common enemy. But with the Emperor hunting the true Dragon, revealing their secrets could destroy them both.

Tracking down an audio version of 'a dark room' took me on a surprisingly winding path, because the title itself is a bit of a maze. I initially assumed it was the minimalist text-based browser game that got adapted, but the more likely candidate is actually the novel by Jason Makansi. That one's about a post-apocalyptic scenario where a family shelters in their basement. The confusion makes searching for an audiobook tricky; you'll get a lot of noise from the game.
If it's Makansi's novel you're after, I don't think there's an official, professionally narrated audiobook out there. I've scoured Audible, Google Play, and Libro.fm over the years and never spotted it. Sometimes niche indie novels just never get the audio treatment, which is a shame because that claustrophobic premise would really work well in audio format. You might find some amateur readings or text-to-speech conversions on obscure platforms, but the quality is a huge gamble.
Your most reliable route is probably the ebook. It's available on Kindle and through other digital retailers. Maybe if enough readers show interest in an audio version, the publisher might consider it down the line. For now, I'd settle for the text and let your imagination build the soundscape—the creak of the floorboards upstairs, the static on the old radio, that kind of thing. It's how I experienced it, and the silence between the lines was pretty effective.
I was hunting for the 'Even in Darkness' audiobook last month and stumbled across a few solid options. Audible is my go-to—it’s got a massive library, and if you’re new, you can often snag a free trial credit to grab it. The narration quality is usually top-notch, which matters a lot for heavy themes like this one. I also checked Libro.fm, which supports indie bookstores, and it was there too! If you’re into owning files outright, Downpour’s DRM-free option is neat, though their catalog isn’t as vast.
For budget seekers, Hoopla or OverDrive might have it if your local library partners with them—just need a library card. Scribd’s subscription model could be worth it if you binge audiobooks regularly. Fair warning: availability varies by region, so double-check before committing. I ended up buying it on Audible because I’m hooked on their app’s sleep timer—perfect for late-night listens.
If you're hunting for an audiobook of 'A Light in the Dark', start with the big commercial stores—Audible, Apple Books, Google Play Books, and Kobo are my go-to places. Search by exact title plus the author's name if you have it; sometimes there are multiple works with similar names and the author or ISBN will save you time. Audible often has exclusive editions and narrator samples, so I always listen to a sample before buying. If you prefer supporting indie shops, check Libro.fm or the publisher's webshop too.
Public libraries are surprisingly great for audiobooks: use OverDrive/Libby or Hoopla and search your local library catalog. If your library doesn't have it, request a purchase—librarians often order popular requests. For older or public-domain texts, LibriVox or Internet Archive might have free recordings. I also peek at Scribd and Audiobooks.com if I want subscription access rather than buying a single title.
Finally, don’t forget author channels: some authors sell or link audiobook editions on their website or through Patreon, Bandcamp, or Gumroad. If I can’t find an official audiobook, I’ll check Goodreads and Reddit threads for clues, but I avoid unofficial uploads—supporting the creator feels right. Happy listening—I hope the narrator nails the tone, because that can totally make a book sing.
