Who is K.A. Merikan?

Sixty-two hours in a single set is a serious proposition. K.A. Merikan writes Guns n’ Boys, a run of dark contemporary romance gathered into one continuous listen rather than parcelled out, and the sheer scale is the first thing to reckon with.

The LGBTQ+ shelf holds a wide spread, from the gentle to the genuinely unsparing, and a crime-adjacent saga of this length sits firmly at the intense end. Series that stretch this far ask for investment and repay it through accumulation: characters who change slowly, loyalties that shift across instalments, a world that thickens the longer you remain inside it.

Nothing beyond the work is recorded here, which is common enough among authors who publish directly to their readers and let the writing do the recruiting.

Nathan Kelly performs the collection, a marathon by any measure. Consistency of voice across that span is precisely what makes a box set work; the reader has to sound like the same person at hour sixty as at hour one.

This one is on its way to us rather than already on the shelf, so keep an eye on the listing rather than the clock. Ratings are far too sparse to mean anything yet. When it lands, the sensible approach is the obvious one: begin at the start and let the instalments run in order, since the set exists precisely to remove the pauses between them. Newcomers to dark romance should know what they are choosing before pressing play. Take a look at what is gathered below.
