Ghost Station

De: S.A. Barnes

Narrado por: Zura Johnson

A crew must try to survive on an ancient, abandoned planet in the latest space-horror novel from S.A. Barnes, acclaimed author of Dead Silence.

An abandoned plant. A hidden past. A deadly danger.

Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of ERS—the most famous case of which resulted in the brutal murders of twenty-nine people. It's personal to her, and when she's assigned to a small exploration crew who recently suffered the tragic death of a colleague, she wants to help. But as they begin to establish residency on an abandoned planet, it becomes clear that crew is hiding something.

And Ophelia's crewmates are far more interested in investigating the eerie, ancient planet and unraveling the mystery behind the previous colonizers' hasty departure than opening up to her.

That is, until their pilot is discovered gruesomely murdered. Is this Ophelia’s worst nightmare starting—a wave of violence and mental deterioration from ERS? Or is it something even more sinister?

Terrified that history will repeat itself, Ophelia and the crew must work together to figure out what’s happening. But trust is hard to come by…and the crew isn’t the only one keeping secrets.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Perfectly unsettling. 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. Barnes became one of my favorite authors with Dead Silence and this is a stunning follow-up. Highly recommended.”–Darcy Coates, USA Today bestselling author of Dead of Winter

“A skin-crawling, delicious tale of exploration, exploitation, and electrifying horror. I loved (and screeched through) every moment of it.”—Yume Kitasei, author of The Deep Sky

Fantastic space thriller

The pacing is great, and the story line is fun and definitely terrifying. Definitely worth a listen and a relisten

Good sci-fi story

Story was good, but I wouldn’t say it was great it was definitely enjoyable though.
Performance was pretty good. I’ll seek out her other performances

Dear God, Will It Never End…

Somebody thinks this is a thriller? Don’t get me wrong, I love this author and their previous books, but this is really tedious. I’m half way through the book now (Chapter 13 with 9hrs and 23 minutes to go) and so far the psychologist is the only one that needs a mental health intervention (and girlfriend is well past talk therapy). If I hear “ERS” (Eckhart-Reiser Syndrome) used one more time, with no homicide, I’m going to scream. Where are the murderous aliens when you need them most?

Loved it

I loved the story and author. Fun read in a cool setting. I recommend if you like sci fi!

spectacular

kept me on edge the entire time, wanting to hear more and more of this book!

Been Waiting Since I Read Dead Silence

S.A. Barnes is very good at wracking up the tension of her stories and making you feel that creeping unease that I’ve been waiting for since I read her last book.

There are aspects that I wish she had explored more regarding her setting for this story; this strange Alien world that endured some long forgotten catastrophe for instance. I feel as if many things were left untapped that would be perfect fuel for terrifying stories.

That said, the story as is was more than satisfying to my longing for a surprisingly sparse selection for modern Sci-fi horror.

I do truly hope Ms. Barnes continues to thrill us with her chilling stories from deep space and I eagerly await the next story she will share with us.

Great voice acting but painful story

The main character is so painfully whiny for most of the book it really takes away from what is otherwise a compelling story. Voice acting is good and the final act saves the story if you can make it through the first 2/3rds of the story.

What do you call an audio page turner?

Kept me on the edge of my car seat because I listen to Audible while commuting. Great sci-fi/horror/suspense!

This is not really a ghost story

But are there "real" ghosts, or just manifestations from our mind? Who knows? Anyway, I enjoyed the story. There was language, a sort of budding romance, very annoying people, and times I just wanted to stop. But the story kept me invested til the end...which I thought was too neatly brought to a close. Narrator was good. I do not wish to change my rating. But I am left with a kinda blah feeling.

Good SYFI Horror

The protagonist proved that there are Psychologists with sometimes crippling issues of their own and spent a huge amount of words on it. I still liked the tale. Well paced, good narration and plot.
