Reviews

[Amanda Sprock · Rating 5 out of 5]

A terrifying spaceship/alien horror that haunted me long after I put it down.

[Robert Jenner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This excellent short story was brilliantly executed and utterly dark. Classic space opera and body horror with a disturbing twist ending. I enjoyed it immensely. It has a strong vibe of two of my favorite films, "Alien" of course and also "Pandorum". Also, in this era of typoes, formatting issues and bad proofreading, I'm an absolute sucker for well-written prose. At a retail price of one dollar this is top-notch value for your money. Highly recommended.
