Ghost Station
A crew must try to survive on an ancient, abandoned planet in the latest space horror novel from S.A. Barnes, acclaimed author of Dead Silence.
Space exploration can be lonely and isolating.
Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of ERS―a space-based condition most famous for a case that resulted in the brutal murders of twenty-nine people. When she's assigned to a small exploration crew, she's eager to make a difference. But as they begin to establish residency on an abandoned planet, it becomes clear that crew is hiding something.
While Ophelia focuses on her new role, her crewmates are far more interested in investigating the eerie, ancient planet and unraveling the mystery behind the previous colonizer's hasty departure than opening up to her.
That is, until their pilot is discovered gruesomely murdered. Is this Ophelia’s worst nightmare starting―a wave of violence and mental deterioration from ERS? Or is it something more sinister?
Terrified that history will repeat itself, Ophelia and the crew must work together to figure out what’s happening. But trust is hard to come by…and the crew isn’t the only one keeping secrets.

S.A. Barnes
In the quiet corridors of a high school library in Illinois, where forgotten bookmarks include everything from notes to cheese sticks, S.A. Barnes plots tales of cosmic terror and claustrophobic dread. Best known for her chilling breakout novel Dead Silence, Barnes has carved a niche in the growing subgenre of sci-fi horror—where the silence of space isn't peaceful, it's menacing.
Before ghosts drifted through derelict starliners in her fiction, she spent years writing under her real name, Stacey Kade, crafting young adult stories filled with heart and humor. But the darker corners of her imagination—fed by early encounters with V.C. Andrews and Stephen King—eventually demanded a new outlet. Under her Barnes pseudonym, she delves into the psychological tension of isolation, the terror of the unknown, and the thin, fraying line between truth and hallucination.
