Keri Lake Audiobooks

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Keri Lake has built her reputation on gothic and dark romance steeped in vengeance, obsession and richly atmospheric worldbuilding. She published her first novel, Halos, in 2011, and has since written some twenty books that pull readers towards sinister gods, arcane magic, deadly secrets and forbidden love.

Her signature is atmosphere. Lake is drawn to haunted forests and crumbling fairytales, to villains worth romanticising, and to stories crafted to linger long after the final page like a whispered curse. She writes, by her own account, on strong coffee, moody music and a weakness for red wine, in the company of her husband, daughters and a rebellious Labrador.

Within the crowded dark-romance landscape she stands out for marrying genuine horror atmosphere to the emotional engine of romance, a combination that has earned her a devoted following among readers of dark academia and gothic fiction alike.

The standout in our catalogue is Nocticadia, comfortably her most reviewed title with us and rated 4.6. A self-contained dark academia gothic romance, it strands a scholarship student on a haunted island university opposite a brooding pathologist nicknamed Doctor Death; the audio edition is performed in duet by Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter. It makes the ideal introduction to Lake’s world.

We also carry Eldritch, the second book in The Eating Woods series, rated 4.4 and narrated by James Cassidy and Melissa Barr. Readers who want a continuing saga rather than a standalone will find their way here, though newcomers are best served starting with Nocticadia.

For anyone who likes their romance shadowed, unsettling and impossible to put down, Lake’s audiobooks reward the plunge. Browse her titles below.
