“Science fiction, drama, humour, horror, and yes–even romance–are expertly blended … IN THE DARKNESS, THAT’S WHERE I’LL KNOW YOU is shaped with an exquisite precision that culminates in a climax that leaves the … precision that culminates in a climax that leaves the reader exhausted from the dizzying thrill of emotions… If you missed this book in its original serialized format, now you’ve been given another chance to read one of the best books that I’ve had the pleasure of reading in recent memory.” – Ain’t It Cool News.com
There are hangovers, there are bad hangovers, and then there’s waking up inside someone else’s head.
The morning after a boozy night before comes with the rudest of awakenings for young bartender Charlie Wilkes. Instead of finding himself in his bedroom, he awakes in a prison consisting of moving, undulating black walls and a huge glowing screen that seems to float in thin air. But the prison isn’t a prison, and the screen isn’t a screen; incredibly, he is somehow inside the mind of a young woman – Minnie – and the screen is actually a projection of what she sees.
How did he end up in the Black Room? What has happened to his life? How is it that he recognises Minnie, feels a bond of some sort with her …even though they’ve never met? Can he exist inside the mind of a troubled, terrified, but beautiful woman with secrets of her own? Most important of all, can he ever get out?
Uncertain whether he’s even real or if he is just a figment of his host’s imagination, Charlie and Minnie must work together – and learn the secret of their strange connection – if he is to find a way out of The Black Room, a place where even 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 all in one book, and contains all of the adventures of Charlie and Minnie. All the answers are revealed in a story guaranteed to keep the reader on the edge of their seat.
PRAISE FOR LUKE SMITHERD:
“I couldn’t help myself and read this is one sitting” – simon211175, Amazon Vine Voice
“Fantastically written characters who make you care about them right from the off.” – Andy Pettifer
“It was one of those books where you tell yourself you will read just one more page, then look at the clock and realise that it’s 2 hours later. I would thoroughly recommend it” – Elaine Hosegood
“I have owned a Kindle for about 2 years and downloaded some excellent books for very little cost but Luke Smitherd’s works beat the lot” – Silversmith, Amazon UK Review
“As soon as I started reading I was completely sucked in, which very rarely happens for me. I couldn’t wait to get home and read it each night. I laughed. I cried. I did actual real life gasps of horror.” – Katie, Amazon Review
“I spend a lot of time trawling through the kindle book store looking for cheap books, relying on reviews to make my purchases. I have come across some less than average books using this method, but also some real gems. This book definitely falls into the latter category. It had me gripped from page one.” – Steve Sut, Amazon UK Review
“This story could, probably should, be made into a movie at some point. I honestly have to believe that Smitherd should contact a producer/director and make a fabulous movie deal. Totally enjoyed the read.” – Bonnie Gleckler Clark, Goodreads

The story was unusual & interesting. I liked the 2 main characters. However, the cover made me think that both of them were in each others head/mind and that was not the case. I would still recommend the book.
good to get you ready for sleep.
I was excited to read this book because of so many great reviews. It started out good, was fun and interesting, with some twists and turns. Around 60% through the book the evil came out. I have read a lot of horror, am a big fan of Stephen King, but I didn’t like this, probably because of the lengthy explanatory passages and not changing pace fast enough. Throughout the whole book I would get bored but then there would be a new twist, so I continued. I almost gave up several times, thinking it had to get better, but around 3/4 through I finally couldn’t continue. I think if the book were shorter it would have been better.
i disliked this book enough to stop reading it.
I had a really hard time getting through this book. repeat upon repeat and repeat again. In the author’s notes, he mentions how verbose he is. I agree with that.
The characters, at least the two main characters, were interesting enough to help me get to The End.
This book was free on Kindle. That’s more than it is worth.
I liked the concept. It started out well. However itbgut cery dark and justvwehtbin so long I couldn’t take it. I finally skipped to the last section to see how it ended. Even that dragged on
Started with high anticipation, but got lost in the black room myself. Lost interest when things got too convoluted. Interesting premise, but some of the reactions of the characters seemed a bit off. Perhaps I would have had a different reaction had I read it months ago, or waited a few months before reading. Sometimes the reader has to be in the right mood to appreciate a story.
Couldn’t read it. Didn’t care about the characters, lousy story line. Gave up. Really bad book. Waste of time.
did not finish too strange innovative but not a page turner
