Critics Review
I ate this book in one sitting because I was in the mood to be freaked out and it delivered tremendously. Truly un-put-downable in its purest sense. – Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS
Stomach-turning, sinister space horror perfect for fans of Alien and Event Horizon. – Kendare Blake
At the intersection of science fiction and horror, Dead Silence is the ultimate haunted house story, in space. – Alma Katsu
This story slides and slithers from creepy and atmospheric to skin-crawling, edge-of-your-seat terror – T. Kingfisher
Dead Silence gives you the suffocating claustrophobia of 2001: A Space Odyssey mixed with the horrors of Alien. I couldn’t stop reading – Mur Lafferty
The richly realized world that S.A. Barnes creates draws us in, and the relatable characters charm us. The dread mounts to a powerful conclusion – David Wellington
