STARRED Review in BookPage!

"Truly un-put-downable in its purest sense." - Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights

Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed—made obsolete—when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.

What they find is shocking: the Aurora, a famous luxury spaceliner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick search of the ship reveals something isn't right.

Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Messages scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold on to her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Dead Silence has been acclaimed as a "truly un-put-downable" horror novel blending science fiction with eerie haunted house elements. Chloe Gong praises it for delivering spine-chilling thrills, while Kendare Blake highlights its stomach-turning, sinister atmosphere reminiscent of classic space horror. Locus and BookPage commend S.A. Barnes’ immersive storytelling that combines horror, mystery, and sci-fi into a compelling, atmospheric experience.
