Screams from the Void

by Anne Tibbets

Overview

"A tense, gripping SF house of horrors in space, where not all the monsters are inhuman. I enjoyed this enormously." — Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones

For two years in deep space, the freighter Demeter and a small crew have collected botanical life from other planets. It's a lesson in patience and hell. Mechanics Ensign Raina is ready to jump ship, if only because her abusive ex is also aboard, as well as her overbearing boss. It's only after a foreign biological creature sneaks aboard and wreaks havoc on the ship and crew that Raina must find her grit - and maybe create a gadget or two - to survive...that is, if the crew members don't lose their sanity and turn on each other in the process.

About the Author

After working in television production as a post-production coordinator, writer’s assistant, and freelance script writer, Anne Tibbets turned her attention back toward her first love, novels. She published two works of post-apocalyptic science fiction for Carina Press, The Line Series: Carrier and Walled in 2014, and two more under the pen name Addison Gunn for Abaddon Books, Extinction Biome: Invasion in 2016, and Dispersal, in 2017.

Her next novel, a space horror, Screams from the Void, publishes under her own name and launches with FLAME TREE PRESS in May, 2021.

‘Screams from the Void is a knockout. Tibbets ratchets up the tension to Aliens-level dread and never lets up. Bursting with memorable characters and shocking moments of violence, this is space-horror done right. Highly recommended!’ – Jonathan Janz, Author of The Siren and the Specter

‘A tense, gripping, SF, house of horrors in space, where not all the monsters are inhuman. I enjoyed this enormously.’ – Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones

Editorial Reviews

A movie waiting to happen, SCREAMS FROM THE VOID is a clever distillation of all the B-movie tropes we love, but with a fresh sharp edge. A claustrophobic setting, a great monster, and nonstop action starts SCREAMS on a nine and then smashes through the ceiling to a thirteen!

Peter Clines

SCREAMS FROM THE VOID is a knockout. Tibbets ratchets up the tension to ALIENS-level dread and never lets up. Bursting with memorable characters and shocking moments of violence, this is space-horror done right. Highly recommended!

Jonathan Janz

"Scary sci-fi in the vein of Alien and Escape Velocity, it moves at pace and lurches from twist to turn with satisfying inevitability."

Concatenation

"With memorable characters, tense pacing, and a scary-as-f*ck enemy, SCREAMS FROM THE VOID is a perfect combination of deep-space horror and feminist fury. Anne Tibbets balances the story of survival with each of her characters’ difficult pasts for a swift and exciting white-knuckle adventure. A terrifying and badass exploration of how fear brings out the best — and worst — in all of us."

Mike Chen

"The action scenes are excellent, and, with page-turning twists and turns, it’s a race to the end to see who will be left standing."

Booklist

"A tense, gripping SF house of horrors in space, where not all the monsters are inhuman. I enjoyed this enormously."

Peter McLean

"If you’re in the mood to be scared, this one is an excellent choice."
