Story
Anyone familiar with H. P. Lovecraft's work knows of the Necronomicon, the black-magic grimoire he invented as a literary prop in his classic horror stories. There have been several attempts at creating this text, yet none stand up to Lovecraft's own descriptions of the Necronomicon...until now. Fans of Lovecraftian magic and occult fiction will delight in Donald Tyson's Necronomicon, based purely within Lovecraft's own fictional universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.

It is in the darkness the monsters thrive.

Will the sun ever rise? Can the wraiths be defeated? But as the days turn to weeks, no answers come.

The tunnel swallowed the 311 whole, and the train - and everyone on it - were never seen again.

One hell of a good ride.
Although there are Dead Space vibes in this Lovecraftian tale The Void Beyond is it's own animal. If, like yours truly, you are a fan of cosmic horror and hard sci fi, then I recommend this book. This is one of the most gripping and engaging books I've come across. With my American ears it took some getting used to in regards of the narrator, but the guy did an excellent job. I'm not one for leaving a review, but damn, this book was awesome. By far the best book I've come across in a long time. I will be driving into the author's other works as well.

Horror in Space
Captain Morgan Starling and the crew of the Newport are in the middle of a battle against alien enemies. Then, a huge battleship appears and "saves" them. But, who (or what) is controlling the ship?
This book was very reminiscent of the movie "Alien" and just as creepy. It is hard to imagine something more horrific than being trapped on a ship in space with an entity that slowly kills off everyone onboard.
The characters were likeable and realistic and the dialogue between them was enjoyable. The alien, 729, was refreshing and quickly became my favorite character. The author did a great job with building the tension as the book progressed. The world building and character development were perfect and the book was well-written.
The narrator did a great job and the pacing was perfect. My only complaint was his (supposedly) Texas-type accents, which were pretty bad. All in all, this was a great book with enough Sci-fi to please fans of that genre without being too over the top for the horror fans. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.
I was given the chance to listen to the audiobook version of this book through StoryOrigin and chose to review it.

do you like headspace? then get this book!
Seriously though, I gave this a shot and I'm glad I did! The writing is on point and despite my initial reservations regarding the world building, by the end, I knew i had to get the second in the series. The characters are enjoyable and i found myself growing quite attached to the characters which makes this horror story all the more frightening. Great set up to book 2 and soooo glad there is a book 3! I'm really enjoying this series!!

Gripping SciFi Horror Tale!
This fast paced drama is an excellent start to the Dark Galaxy Series. It is very well written and Matt Jenkins narration definitely added to the creep factor and suspense. Lots of action, aliens, mutilated flesh-eating monsters, and ghosts makes it an intriguing space adventure. I received a free audiobook and am happy to leave my honest review. I’m looking forward to the next book. Enjoy!

All good things come to an end.
This is the first book I’ve discovered by P.W. Hillard, seeing an add for it on Facebook. The cover art caught my eye and I immediately opened Audible and looked it up. I was a little weary about downloading it at first, because I only had one token left... and I wanted to save it for something I knew would be good. However, my job recently relocated me about an hour away so, I figured I needed something to listen to on the drive.
The book throws you into the deep end from the very start. Things are going bad and you don’t really know why, but you’re up for it! Needless to say I’ve been late a few times, sitting in the parking lot, listening to what would happen next.
The book has a newISH take on horror in space. There are times when it feels like Alien, and then the Thing, and I get a pretty decent Dead Space vibe. However, with all that’s been done in the genre, it’s difficult not to pull inspiration from the classics. The characters are each interesting in their own way and the Narrator does a good job of keeping them each unique, even if he tends to use a similar accent for a few. I got them mixed up once or twice.
Their banter is relatable to me and remind me of how my coworkers and I communicate, through insults and good natured ribbing.
You grow attached to the characters and the author described being weightless in zero G’s in a way that I had not heard. All of their struggles feel new, exciting, and terrifying. A rollercoaster that follows a crew who desperately want out of the endless void of space. But the cold vacuum of space is going to be the least of their ever growing dangers.

The Void Beyond by P W Hillard
This audiobook is a science fiction horror story. It is very exciting in places. My only complaint is the number of f-bombs used. It took away from the story to have so many. The story itself is very good and I’d recommend it. I love weird aliens tales.

Intense Horror Ride
This is a sci-fi, paranormal, horror story. It’s a well-written story with an intricate plot and well developed characters. It’s a stand-alone book that keeps your attention so you don’t miss something. Matt Jenkins does an amazing job with the narration. His ability to differentiate voices between characters make him an absolute pleasure to listen to. P.W. Hillard is one of maybe two science fiction writers who have made me interested in reading sci-fi again. It’s an absorbing, intense horror ride through space.

Quite liked the space horror. Was pleasently surprised by the story. One of my favourite characters I can't say who that is as it will spoil it but really good take on the old, man vs alien dynamic I would recommend this
