13. Finished "Dead Silence" by S.A. Barnes

"Titanic meets The Shining in S.A. Barnes’ Dead Silence, a SF horror novel in which a woman and her crew board a decades-lost luxury space cruiser and find the wreckage of a nightmare that hasn't yet ended." I had not read anything by this author, but it sounded creepy so I gave it a try, not expecting too much. I expected one of those let the reader figure out his or her own ending. Instead, it was unexpectedly good, and scary, and had a good ending. Ms. Barnes calling out futuristic corporate greed appealed to me (these days).
