Often, it’s done in a way that cheapens the mental health issues. Normally, I don’t like fiction that confuses speculative elements with mental health issues. It’s hard to tell from the story which is the correct answer. Or she might have mental health issues that cause her to see and hear ghosts. The book reads fast with enough pauses to sit and stew in the atmospheric horror.ĭue to Claire’s history, she might see dead people. The themes include mental health and corporate greed. The book switches between the present, which has Claire being interviewed by two Verux Corporation suits, and the past where the boarding of the Aurora happened. She’s complicated, sympathetic, and in a no win situation. Claire is the main and only viewpoint of the book. What happened to these people? And is it starting to happen again to Claire’s crew?ĭead Silence is a first person point of view horror novel in a science fiction setting. But once onboard, Claire and crew find a horror scene of dead and mutilated celebrities.
Claire could buy her own ship and get out from underneath the thumb of the Verux Corporation. If they could avoid their corporate overlords, the salvage money would set the whole crew up for life. No one on the ship responds to Claire and her crew so, they see an opportunity for salvage. It departed with the ultra-rich and the ultra-famous. What happened to the cruise ship, Aurora, is unknown. The crew follows the signal to the edge of known space where they find a luxury cruise liner lost decades prior. As the crew of the LINA finishes their final beacon, they pick up a distress signal. This will be their last mission because, from then on, repairs will be conducted by drones. Claire and crew are about to find out.Ĭlaire Kovalik and her crew of four finish repairs on the network of beacons that facilitate near instantaneous communication in the solar system. No one knows what happened aboard the ship to cause its disappearance. This cruise liner has been missing for decades. Following that signal, they find a luxury cruise liner at the edge of known space. Claire Kovalik and crew finish up their last job when they hear a distress signal. Barnes’s Dead Silence came up, I had to take it. ( Not all, of course.) But if horror is mixed with science fiction, the temptation is usually too strong to pass up. Since that night, I’ve avoided a lot of horror. The psychological horror of the movie hit its peak right as my sister’s cat jumped into my lap. Needless to say, I loved that it ended up being a SF movie. It was just me, a soda, a bag of peanut M&M’s, and the movie.
I knew nothing about the movie, but into the player it went. Being a science and science fiction fan, I was drawn to that dvd. They had rented some movies for the night. Once, I was home from college, and after a night out with friends, I returned to my parents house.
