Cold Eternity

From the author of Dead Silence and Ghost Station, a new space horror that blends the dystopian dread of Severance with the catastrophic approach to AI from M3gan.

From the Queen of Space Horror comes a terrifying, dread-filled nightmare perfect for fans of Ridley Scott and Andy Weir.

'This slice of space horror will be just the ticket for the Halloween season' - New Scientist 'So well done and creepy, with a twist that will shock you!' - Hildur Knotsdóttir 'The S.A. Barnes Creature Feature we've all been waiting for! Tense, nasty, and melancholic' - Caitlin Starling

Halley Zwick is on the run.

Exposing an interplanetary conspiracy should have brought justice. Instead, it's brought Halley a target on her back. With nowhere left to turn, she boards a relic of the past: Elysian Fields, a drifting crypt in deep space.

Once hailed as humanity's answer to death itself, Elysian Fields was trillionaire Zale Winfield's promise to Earth's elite - cryo-sleep until medicine caught up with mortality. But that future never came, and the barge has floated dark and silent for over a century.

Or so Halley thought.

Shadows fall across corridors. Scratching claws echo in the vents. Something is crawling, slithering, waking. As Halley descends into the heart of the ship, paranoia blurs into terror. The Elysian dead may not be sleeping—and what woke them is hungry.
