The Night Ship Alex Woodroe 9781787589186

Driving a logging truck through the Romanian mountains, smuggler Rosi and her crew come across a radio signal that hints at impending doom. As the world goes completely dark, their truck becomes a vessel sailing across a sea of nothingness.

But they're not alone: transmissions trickle in through the radio from similar isolated islands across the country, from amateur radio hobbyists and police cars and customs facilities.

Attempting to rescue survivors and find a way out, the group save more lives, but soon discover that something hungry lurks below, and it's sending up agents - and transmissions - of its own.

Alex Woodroe is a Romanian writer and editor of dark speculative fiction. She's the author of Whisperwood, as well as several short horror, fantasy, and science-fiction stories published in venues like Dark Matter Magazine, Horror Library, the Nosleep podcast, and more. She lives in the heart of the Transylvanian region of Romania, and lets her country's culture and unique natural landscapes influence her work. She's been a translator, a beermaid, a teacher, a copywriter, and a dog trainer, but ultimately realized she wouldn't be happy until she terrified people for a living. Alex now runs her own company doing freelance editing, translations, and writing, as well as working as an acquisitions editor for Indie Horror upstart, Tenebrous Press.

'Dark, but also achingly heartfelt, clever, and funny.' - Lauren Bolger, author of Kill Radio
