Cold Eternity

by S.A. Barnes
Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes
Unrated

Cold Eternity is the instant USA Today bestselling space horror from S.A. Barnes perfect for fans of Severance, where desperation for eternal life leads to a fate worse than death...

Halley is on the run from an interplanetary political scandal that has put a huge target on her back. She heads for what seems like the perfect place to lay low: a gigantic space barge storing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earth’s most fortunate citizens from more than a century ago…

The cryo program, created by trillionaire tech genius Zale Winfeld, is long defunct, and the AI hologram "hosts," ghoulishly created in the likeness of Winfeld’s three adult children, are glitchy. The ship feels like a crypt, and the isolation gets to Halley almost immediately. She starts to see figures crawling in the hallways, and there’s a constant scraping, slithering, and rattling echoing in the vents.

It’s not long before Halley realizes she may have gotten herself trapped in an even more dangerous situation than the one she was running from….

S.A. Barnes

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.

Her writing lingers not just on jump scares, but on atmosphere—on the weight of dead air, the creak of an unseen presence, the quiet unraveling of a mind too long left alone. With Dead Silence, Barnes invites readers into a spacefaring nightmare that feels startlingly intimate, a haunted house adrift in the stars.

Her next novels, Ghost Station and Cold Eternity, promise more of that unsettling mix of science fiction and horror, where technology and humanity collide in eerie, often deadly ways. When she’s not terrifying readers, Barnes is connecting teens to books during her day job, living proof that the scariest minds can also be the kindest.

Through sparse yet sharp prose and a knack for tension that builds like a slow hiss of air from a failing hull, S.A. Barnes is crafting stories that stay with readers long after the last page—like a whisper in an empty room.
