About this listen

"The Permanence of Darkness" by Andoni Iapetus is a gripping psychological thriller that plunges into the depths of the human psyche, exploring the fragility of the mind and the enduring battle between light and shadow.

Sarah Woods, haunted by memories of captivity and violence, clings to a delicate balance within the confines of a psychiatric hospital. Her reality blurs as the enigmatic Michael enters her life, a figure who challenges her to confront her past, unravel her fractured mind, and resist the darkness that threatens to consume her. But is Michael a savior, a figment of her imagination, or something far more sinister?

This dark and evocative novelette weaves themes of trauma, obsession, and redemption into a narrative that keeps listeners on edge. With haunting prose and complex characters, The Permanence of Darkness explores the fine line between sanity and madness, love and control, and the eternal struggle for hope in the face of despair.

Perfect for narrators who can convey raw emotion, nuanced tension, and a compelling range of voices, this story demands a performance that captures both the intensity of Sarah’s turmoil and the eerie beauty of her imagined world.
