Another book spotlight today with the anthology, A Graveyard of Stars (Dark Tide 15). Enjoy.
A Graveyard of Stars (Dark Tide 15)
In uncharted and forbidden tracts of space, ancient evils awaken…With its visceral action, escalating dread, vivid characters braving trauma and temptation, and startling feats of imagination, A Graveyard of Stars anthology will send the reader hurtling through space toward chilling revelations and breathless conclusions.
In "The Temple," after an audacious crew of salvagers crosses into dangerous territory seeking otherworldly treasure, they discover an occult secret which could change everything.
In "The Station," the intrepid crew of the Argento encounters unimaginable horrors after discovering a mysterious, drifting megastructure in the depths of space.
And in the title novella "Graveyard of Stars," a routine maintenance job on the edge of the notorious Demon Star system goes terribly wrong, leaving the stranded engineers caught between the unfathomable forces of Algol and the lethal dangers of the encroaching defence net they are sworn to uphold.
These three brilliantly inventive novellas combine in this compulsive sci-fi collection to explore threats lurking in a forbidden and blighted sector of space. Perfect for fans of Event Horizon, Alien, Dead Silence and Luminous Dead.
About the Authors
Once Dan Soule was an academic, but the
sentences proved too long and the words too obscure. Northern Ireland is where
he now lives. But he was born in England and raised in Byron’s hometown, which
the bard hated but Dan does not. They named every other road after Byron. As
yet no roads are named after Dan but several children are. He tries to write
the kind of stories he wants to read. His short fiction has featured in theGhostsSory.com, Disturbed Digest, Devolution
Z and now Sanitarium Magazine among others. Five
novels have spawned from his pen, including Neolithica, Witchopper, The Ash, Savage, and The Jam.
Lee Mountford is a horror
author from the North-East of England. His first book, Horror in the Woods,
was published in May 2017 to fantastic reviews, and his follow-up book, The
Demonic, achieved Best Seller status in both Occult Horror and British
Horror categories on Amazon.
He is a lifelong horror fan,
much to the dismay of his amazing wife, Michelle, and his work is available in
ebook, print and audiobook formats.
In August 2017 he and his wife
welcomed their first daughter, Ella, into the world. In May 2019, their second
daughter, Sophie, came along. Michelle is hoping the girls don’t inherit their
father’s love of horror, but Lee has other ideas…
