Step into the shadows of the human mind — where nothing is as it seems, and no one is entirely innocent.
 
Voices in the Dark is a masterfully crafted anthology of 12 standalone psychological thrillers that will grab you by the throat and whisper secrets you were never meant to hear. From the moment the first story begins, you’re plunged into a world of subtle paranoia, dangerous memories, and eerie encounters that blur the line between reality and delusion.
 
Each short story is a self-contained experience — tight, twisty, and impossible to pause — written by acclaimed thriller author Sam Johnson and brought to life by the immersive voices of Lucy Walker and James Goodwin. Whether it’s the woman trapped in an elevator with someone who remembers what she forgot… the man whose new phone begins syncing surveillance photos of himself… or the late-night confession that reveals the priest’s own darkest sin, every tale is a psychological maze with no guaranteed way out.
 
This isn’t horror for the faint-hearted or simple scares with jump cuts — these are thrillers that linger, crawling under your skin and forcing you to question what you’d do in the darkest of moments.
 
Whether you’re commuting, walking alone at dusk, or laying awake at 2 a.m., Voices in the Dark is your next unforgettable listen.

Killing for a living is easy, living for a reason is much harder
Meet Ruslan Akulov.
In the shadowy world of assassins for hire, he is known as ‘Wolf Six’.
A Ukrainian raised in Moscow, conscripted into Russia’s most covert Special Forces unit ‘The Werewolves’, Akulov is full of loathing for the country that built and then broke him. The only rules he follows now are his own.
Unable to shake the guilt of his past, Akulov has made it his business to seek out those who prey upon the innocent. The name Wolf Six is legendary - whispered by those who know it with fear. But when Akulov accidentally thwarts the armed robbery of a Chicago Bank, he pits himself against both the Russian Bratva and the CIA, setting into motion a spiralling sequence of events which will bring his past back to haunt him, and potentially turn his future to ashes…
His mission of retribution takes him from Chicago to Kyiv, to Havana and back into the US, where Akulov must stop at nothing if he is to remain alive. No simple mission, even for the world’s deadliest assassin.
