The Midnight Man by Kevin Klehr
At times, especially the beginning of this story, it's a bit hard to know who I was 'listening' to. It was quite confusing. As I started reading, I thought that Stanley, one of the couple MCs, was going to give in and slip into eternal sleep at the insistence of Asher, the midnight man, who is a spirit (?) that invades his dreams nightly and wants Stanley to join him in the afterlife. Frank, Stanley's partner, is one lucky guy considering that in the end, Stanley decides to stay with him even though Frank has hurt him by cheating on him. Once I'd read a few chapters, I got hooked on the story. I only wish the first half of the book was as easy to read. At times, it felt as if I was reading something similar to Ebenizer Scrooge's A Christmas Carol.
