What is it about?
An immersive sci-fi audio experience by G.E. Perlin
​
Set in the year 2035, The Dark of the Grey is a gripping, journal-style adventure that unfolds just as the world teeters on the edge of extra-terrestrial disclosure. What begins as a quiet life for Nathan Carlisle — a computer programmer living on a remote island north of Seattle — quickly unravels into a harrowing journey across a fractured America. Nate’s struggle with sleep paralysis leads him to uncover a disturbing truth, one that propels him into a quest to find his estranged father and uncover the mystery of his own existence.
​
Told through time-stamped entries and steeped in eerie, paranormal undercurrents, the story twists and turns through moments of isolation, revelation, and existential fear. What Nate discovers will challenge everything he thought he knew — not only about the world, but about himself.
This fully immersive audiobook features original music, voice actors, and cinematic sound design, handcrafted over six years to deliver a uniquely visceral experience.

I've just finished it. It is perfect to the point that I finished it although I'm pressed on time my exams are close and I'm not ready yet but I couldn't help it I had to Finnish it. Everything about it was perfect the story the characters the time line the recording and sound effects. I just didn't want it to end haha. Looking forward to Ken's story. (spoiler!!!...... He was truly a great man)

"50% through in the first day, at chapter 29, and WOW, this entire listening experience went way above and beyond my initial expectations. Well done all around: Writing, character development, descriptions, plot, tension, sounds, voices. Nailed it all! Can't type any more ... must get back to the story."
