The Last Star

Interference #2 / 2

The Last Star (Interference #2) by Terry Grimwood
not yet rated

Beware god-like aliens bearing gifts

Stasis and inorganic self-repair, new spacefaring technologies for humankind, yet more gifts from its closest extra-terrestrial ally, the Iaens. There are, it seems, no limits to humanity’s outward journey.

Then Lana Reed, Mission Commander of the interstellar colony seeder, Drake, awakes from her own stasis to discover that all but three of the vessel’s other tanks are dark, their occupants suffocated, screaming yet unheard in their high-tech coffins. But the stasis tanks are not all that is dark. The sensors return no readings from outside. The external vid-feeds show only unending blackness.

There are no stars to be seen. No planet song to be heard. No galaxy cry. No echoing radio signals that proclaim life.

The Drake and its surviving crew are adrift and alone in a lightless, empty universe.

Raised in the United Kingdom, Grimwood’s early life was filled with a sense of wonder and mystery—traits that would go on to shape his writing. He was captivated by the strange and unsettling, whether it was the eerie atmosphere of old English folk tales or the grim shadows cast by classic horror novels. These influences are evident in his work, which often blends the gritty, realistic with the supernatural, creating worlds where the line between reality and nightmare is razor-thin.

Grimwood’s debut novel, The Year of the Knife, introduced readers to his knack for crafting taut, suspenseful narratives, where the psychological tension builds to a boiling point. His writing is never rushed—each sentence is carefully constructed to keep readers on the edge, savoring the fear and anticipation. Through stories that often feature morally complex characters, Grimwood explores themes of survival, fear, and the emotional scars that shape us long after the danger has passed.

His work doesn’t just stay within the bounds of traditional horror or thriller genres. Grimwood’s ability to blend genres—often weaving elements of the supernatural with realistic, human struggles—sets him apart from many of his contemporaries. His books offer more than just scares; they delve into the darker aspects of what it means to be human, asking readers to confront their own fears, doubts, and desires.

Grimwood’s talent has garnered praise from both fans and critics, but it’s his ability to make readers feel deeply that has truly set him apart. His stories are about much more than external threats; they are about the internal battles that rage within each of us. In a world filled with noise, Terry Grimwood’s writing cuts through the chaos and speaks to the quiet, unsettling truths that we often try to ignore.

In addition to his novels, Grimwood’s short stories and essays have appeared in various literary magazines, further cementing his place in the realm of unsettling fiction. When he's not crafting tales of psychological horror, Grimwood enjoys the occasional quiet escape into nature, where the unsettling beauty of the world around him serves as a constant reminder of the mysterious power of storytelling.

Terry Grimwood's works invite readers to explore the unknown, but also the very real darkness that lies in the heart of humanity. Each book is a reminder that sometimes, the most terrifying thing of all is not the monsters lurking outside, but the ones that reside within.
