Synopsis

"A tense, gripping SF house of horrors in space, where not all the monsters are inhuman. I enjoyed this enormously." — Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones

For two years in deep space, the freighter Demeter and a small crew have collected botanical life from other planets. It's a lesson in patience and hell. Mechanics Ensign Raina is ready to jump ship, if only because her abusive ex is also aboard, as well as her overbearing boss. It's only after a foreign biological creature sneaks aboard and wreaks havoc on the ship and crew that Raina must find her grit—and maybe create a gadget or two—to survive . . . that is, if the crew members don't lose their sanity and turn on each other in the process.

Contains mature themes.

So, this was not good, and the problems were myriad. The basic issue is this: if you're going to do Alien, it has to be at least as good or better. Instead of going on and on, I'll refer to my friend Lindsay's review, which details the main problems with this book: [URL not allowed]......more

Goodreads review by Bandit on February 14, 2021

Being the first person to rate and review the book always brings out a sort of uncharacteristic generosity. But the goal is objectivity. And objectively, I’m not in love. Or like, even. I’m…mildly entertained. At best. Actually, I read the author before, a forgettable novella titled Shut Up that se......more

Goodreads review by Julie on May 20, 2021

There is a lot going on in this story! I'm going to have to read this a second time just to catch all the nuances! On the surface, the story is a space opera. The crew of the Demeter has been in space for two years on a mission to gather plant life from other planets. The routine mission becomes muc......more

Goodreads review by Rowena on May 24, 2021

Screams from the Void is a book that hits the ground running and doesn’t really stop until the end, and right from the first page, we know that something is wrong. I will admit I found the first couple of pages a little stilted and I wasn’t sure how I was going to find the book, and then chaos erup......more
