Ghost Station: The ultimate isolation horror from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Death's Daughter

"Brought to you by Penguin. An abandoned planet. A hidden past. A deadly danger. Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of Eckhart-Reiser syndrome (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 the 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 members aren’t the only ones keeping secrets. © S.A. Barnes 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

Dead Silence: The sci-fi haunted house story from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Death's Daughter

"Brought to you by Penguin. A GHOST SHIP. A SALVAGE CREW. UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS. Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed--made obsolete--when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate. What they find at the other end of the signal is a shock: the Aurora, a famous luxury space-liner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn't right. Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Words scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold onto her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora, before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate. 'Truly un-put-downable in its purest sense' Chloe Gong, bestselling author of These Violent Delights 'At the intersection of science fiction and horror, Dead Silence is the ultimate haunted house story, in space' Alma Katsu, author of The Deep and The Hunger 'This story slides and slithers from creepy and atmospheric to skin-crawling, edge-of-your-seat terror' T.

Cold Eternity: The unputdownable space horror from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Death's Daughter

"Brought to you by Penguin. From the Queen of Space Horror comes a terrifying, dread-filled nightmare perfect for fans of Ridley Scott's Alien franchise. Desperation for eternal life can lead to a fate worse than death... Halley is on the run from an interplanetary political scandal that has put a huge target on her back. She heads for what seems like the perfect place to lay low: Elysian Fields, a gigantic space barge storing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earth’s most fortunate citizens from more than a century ago… The cryo program, created by trillionaire tech genius Zale Winfeld, is long defunct, and the AI hologram 'hosts', ghoulishly created in the likeness of Winfeld’s three adult children, are glitchy. The ship feels like a crypt, and the isolation gets to Halley almost immediately. She starts to see figures crawling in the hallways, and there’s a constant scraping, slithering, and rattling echoing in the vents. It’s not long before Halley realises she may have gotten herself trapped in an even more dangerous situation than the one she was running from…. Praise for Cold Eternity 'The S.A. Barnes Creature Feature we've all been waiting for! Tense, nasty, and melancholic' Caitlin Starling 'So well done and creepy, with a twist that will shock you!' Hildur Knútsdóttir 'Cements S.A. Barnes's already impressive reputation as Queen of Space Horror' Ally Wilkes 'You'll want to read this one with the lights on' Katee Robert, bestselling author of the Dark Olympus series © S.A.
