_________
Halley Zwick is on the run.
Exposing an interplanetary conspiracy should have brought justice. Instead, it's brought Halley nothing but a target on her back. With nowhere left to turn, she boards a relic of the past: Elysian Fields, a drifting crypt in deep space.
Once hailed as humanity's answer to death itself, Elysian Fields was trillionaire Zale Winfield's promise to Earth's elite - cryo-sleep until medicine caught up with mortality. But that future never came. The program was abandoned. The barge has floated dark and silent for over a century.
Or so Halley thought.
The moment she steps aboard, something feels wrong. The silence isn't empty-it's watching. Shadows fall across corridors. Scratching claws echo in the vents. Whispers bleed from the walls. Something is crawling, slithering, waking.
As Halley descends into the heart of the ship, paranoia blurs into terror. The Elysian dead may not be sleeping-and what woke them is hungry.
Halley thought she was escaping death. She didn't know she was walking straight into it.

Reviews
Cold Eternity cements S.A. Barnes's already impressive reputation as Queen of Space Horror. So engrossing, I read it in one straight sitting. With an intoxicating blend of cosmic, existential indifference and grounded, startlingly visceral body horror, there's plenty to get your teeth into. I just can't wait to see what Barnes does next?she's the real deal. -- Ally Wilkes, author of WHERE THE DEAD WAIT
You'll want to read this one with the lights on. Terrifying and lonesome with a heroine who you'll root for, S.A. Barnes has quickly become one of my go-to horror authors! -- Katee Robert
Cold Eternity is the S.A. Barnes Creature Feature we've all been waiting for! Tense, nasty, and melancholic. The perfect combination of sleep deprivation and a space station monster! -- Caitlin Starling, author of THE STARVING SAINTS
So well done and creepy, with a twist that will shock you! -- Hildur Knutsdottir, author of THE NIGHT GUEST
