Haunted Space Titanic? Yes please. I was absolutely invested in this story from beginning to end.
Pros
🪐 Great horror use. Ghosts, hallucinations, madness - all portrayed concisely and emotionally.
🪐 So atmospheric, it's easy to imagine yourself in the vastness of space, the derelict ship, I loved it.
🪐 MC is both strong and flawed. She feels like a real person.
Cons
🪐 Not the cosmic horror I was expecting, but it was still great.
🪐 I only wished for a bit more in the epilogue but that's just because I'm nosey and like more than simple bowtie endings.
