5 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
Cold Eternity, the newest space horror novel from the author of Dead Silence and Ghost Station, blends the dystopian dread of Severance with the catastrophic approach to AI from M3gan. Halley is on the run from an interplanetary political scandal that has put a huge target on her back. She heads for what seems like the perfect place to lay low: a gigantic space barge housing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earths most wealthy citizens. The ship and its cryo program are long defunct, but Halley starts to think she sees figures crawling in the hallways, and theres a constant scraping, slithering, and rattling echoing in the vents. Its not long before Halley realizes she may have gotten herself trapped in an even more dangerous situation than the one she was running from.... Also by S.A. Barnes: Dead Silence Ghost Station At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️this is ok@between heavier books. Entertaining enough however no depth to characters, creature lore or science fiction. It‘s just a generic space horror that somewhat engaging. Not bad, but not great by any means. Took awhile to get going.

Yay for more space horror!! I liked the premises of her first two books, but not so much the execution. It felt like the horror really falls apart during the climax and each book has the same group of characters. I was happy this one was a little different and read it in one sitting. I still wish the horror had hit harder. I didn‘t mind the romantic subplot in this one; it didn‘t feel as random. Hoping her next one will be even creepier! 3.5 🌟

julesG I read "humour" instead of "horror" in your first sentence. ??‍♀️? I agree about the first two books, hence I still haven't read this one. 5d
RosePressedPages @julesG hahaha I would definitely try a space humour book! I keep hoping she‘ll nail the execution…I‘m still searching for a really good and chilling space horror 5d
julesG Same. I keep hoping her writing gives me chills. But I suppose I out-horrored myself as a teenager. 4d

Hey, let's go to outer space! That'd be fun, right?!
No, you lunatic. Space is the setting for horror in space. Such as here.

Your main character is trying to hide out from authorities due to her activism so she takes a cush if boring job hauling cryogenic bodies.

How scary could that be? They're dead, right?
RIGHT?! 😟

RosePressedPages I‘m soooo excited to start this one! 7d

I thoroughly enjoyed Barnes' 'Cold Eternity.' She somehow manages to make a huge ship feel claustrophobic. The horror was on-point and very atmospheric. There was a feeling of dread throughout the novel. The narrator was great as well. 5 stars.

Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes is a tale of isolation and unanswered questions, centered around three-hour increments of time.

Having a kid showed me how quickly the hours can fly by. So the focus on pushing the button every three hours had me so anxious.
