Über diesen Titel

"The audiobook read by Lauren Ezzo makes for compulsive, edge-of-seat listening." - Buzzfeed

"Ezzo's dark tone and emotional connection terrify and comfort listeners in equal measure. Not for the faint of heart."-AudioFile Magazine

Titanic meets The Shining in S.A. Barnes’ Dead Silence, a SF horror novel in which a woman and her crew board a decades-lost luxury cruiser and find the wreckage of a nightmare that hasn't yet ended.

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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire

Story is fine, I was hoping for a bit more…spooky atmosphere. But it’s okay. And at some points, the narrator got a tiny bit too expressive for my liking. But all in all a good ghost ship story.

Fine

The setting and early hints of the story are promising. Scene descriptions are spine-chilling. Everything points towards proper space horror. So ... what could possibly go wrong?

The main character, i.e. the Team Lead (which is kind of the captain) is insecure, emotionally driven, and socially underdeveloped. You're forced to listen to the tiring musings of a 14 year old. (I apologize to all 14 year olds for stereotyping. You didn't deserve this.) Plans are developed on the go, decisions are made solely for emotional self-gratification, wrong decisions can not be changed because of fear of losing face. This character is entirely unfit to lead a team as well as build a connection to me, as a listener.

I quit after 3h.

Emotionally driven decision making

Overall I really liked this book.
The main character was an unreliable narrator, which isn't my favourite trope. She was also very dramatic and determined to think the worst of herself. which is fine but also not my favourite.
I really loved the voice actress. it might be a bit much for other people, but I think that stems from the amount of drama and panic the MC experiences.
overall I would recommend it.

compelling mystery with unlikable main character

the horror was great, very atmospheric - the characterization was less so, mostly everyone was annoying
