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

Desperation for eternal life can lead to a fate worse than death...

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: Elysian Fields, a gigantic space barge storing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earth’s most fortunate citizens from more than a century ago…

The cryo program, created by trillionaire tech genius Zale Winfeld, is long defunct, and the AI hologram 'hosts', ghoulishly created in the likeness of Winfeld’s three adult children, are glitchy. The ship feels like a crypt, and the isolation gets to Halley almost immediately. She starts to see figures crawling in the hallways, and there’s a constant scraping, slithering, and rattling echoing in the vents.

It’s not long before Halley realises she may have gotten herself trapped in an even more dangerous situation than the one she was running from….

Praise for Cold Eternity

Cold Eternity cements S.A. Barnes's already impressive reputation as Queen of Space Horror. So engrossing, I read it in one straight sitting. With an intoxicating blend of cosmic, existential indifference and grounded, startlingly visceral body horror, there's plenty to get your teeth into. I just can't wait to see what Barnes does next?she's the real deal.

Ally Wilkes, author of WHERE THE DEAD WAIT

Cold Eternity is the S.A. Barnes Creature Feature we've all been waiting for! Tense, nasty, and melancholic. The perfect combination of sleep deprivation and a space station monster!

Caitlin Starling, author of THE STARVING SAINTS

So well done and creepy, with a twist that will shock you!

Hildur Knútsdóttir, author of THE NIGHT GUEST

You'll want to read this one with the lights on. Terrifying and lonesome with a heroine who you'll root for, S.A. Barnes has quickly become one of my go-to horror authors!
