Ghost Station scratches the itch for space horror just right--and doesn't shrink from the grisly consequences of exploring the unknown."" --Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights ""Ghost Station is everything I could want in a horror story and more.

This is one of those time-warp books--the ones where you look away from the clock, then look back and it's suddenly way past your bedtime."" --BookPage, Starred Review ""With a compelling haunted-house-in-space frame, excellent worldbuilding, vivid imagery, biting social commentary, sustained tension, and a storytelling style that seamlessly moves between the mortal danger of the present and Kovalik's unsettling past, this sf-horror blend will resonate loudly with readers."" --Library Journal ""Barnes is giving you Titanic but make it scary, she's giving you Event Horizon, she's giving you Ghost Ship; for real, this book will make your skin crawl."" --BookRiot ""This story slides and slithers from creepy and atmospheric to skin-crawling, edge-of-your-seat terror."" --T. Kingfisher, author of What Moves the Dead ""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, Hugo Award-Winning author of Six Wakes ""Barnes ably conjures the kind of haunting setting and atmosphere required for this Event Horizon-esque novel... Recommended for fans of claustrophobic space horror."" --Booklist ""Barnes plays nicely on human fears of both madness and of ghosts, carefully blurring the line between science fiction and horror... Those with a taste for blending genres will enjoy this combo."" --Publishers Weekly ""Creepy and satisfying; I'll be checking under my bed tonight."" --Sarah Pinsker, author of the Nebula Award winning A Song For A New Day"
