The Void
Humanity crosses light years in hours now, and the price is that every passenger must be unconscious for the crossing. Sleep brings dreams, and the dreams are assembled from the sleeper's own fears and secrets. Everyone accepts this as the cost of the journey.
Six travellers are aboard the Singularity, a ship that officially no longer exists, making a jump nobody has records of. In the dark between stars their dreams stop being private, and whatever is authoring them is not on the manifest.
Brett J. Talley writes Lovecraftian horror in a hard science-fiction frame, closer to a haunted house than to a space adventure: a sealed vessel, a shrinking cast, and an explanation the reader would rather not have.
