Echo: Some signals weren't meant to be answered

Rate this book
In the depths of space, aboard the Erebus, a crew of explorers is drawn into a cosmic nightmare when they receive a mysterious signal known as The Echo. As they venture deeper into the unknown, the crew begins to experience unexplainable haunting dreams, strange shadows, and a growing sense of dread that something is watching them.

Captain Chen, the steadfast leader, must navigate the psychological unraveling of her team while confronting the entity that lurks within the ship. A presence that feeds on fear and memories. Dr. Johanna Christensen, the ship's chief medical officer, struggles to maintain her sanity as the boundaries of reality blur. Oliver, the ship's engineer, finds himself haunted by the ghost of his son, Tommy, and must confront the guilt of a past he cannot escape.

As the Erebus approaches the source of the signal, the crew must face their deepest fears and the horrifying truth about what lies beyond the stars. With time running out and the fabric of reality itself at stake, they must will they succumb to the darkness, or will they fight to uncover the truth before it's too late?

Echo is a gripping tale of cosmic horror, psychological suspense, and the unbreakable bonds of humanity. In a universe where nothing is as it seems, survival may come at a terrible price.

Welcome aboard the Erebus. We’re in the space age and this is not a book I’d take along. Why?

Well… I stopped reading this at night and switched to morning reading as the emotions this space horror brought up, affected my sleep.

So, don’t hesitate and grab your copy soon! Well built-up tension, a plot that makes sense, independent yet recognizable in its style.

A quick read indeed, took me about a week I guess (forgot to mark as “read” on goodreads).

Have a look at Aysline’s other work too!

This quick read dives deep into all of the scenarios that make outer space scary! The author does an excellent job of building a sense of dread throughout the story, and what this group of astronauts finds is absolutely terrifying! Sci-fi fans will absolutely love this novella, and horror readers will find it enjoyable as well.
