Descriere
Ava finds herself entangled in a harrowing struggle aboard the Eden, a colossal space cemetery where the souls of the deceased rest, including her beloved Roland. However, the tranquility of this cosmic resting place is shattered by the malevolent presence of an entity determined to annihilate the crew and unleash chaos upon the universe.
The haunting specters of the departed torment the living inhabitants of the Eden, their ethereal whispers and ghostly apparitions haunting them. Among the afflicted is a visiting musician tasked with composing a requiem for the departed, unwittingly invoking a dark force with her mournful music. As the cosmic entity is summoned, it casts a sinister light on the deepest fears and hidden truths of those aboard the vessel, driving them to the brink of madness.
In the face of overwhelming grief and terror, Ava must confront her own demons and summon the strength to resist the growing darkness. With each passing moment, the threat increases, threatening not only the lives of those aboard the Eden but also the fate of Earth itself. As she battles against confusion and desperation, Ava must rally her companions to unite against the expanding presence before it consumes them all.
With Roland’s spirit among the restless dead and the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Ava’s resolve is tested like never before. She must navigate treacherous waters of sorrow and redemption, confronting the entity head-on to save her loved ones and prevent catastrophe. In a race against time, Ava’s courage and resilience are pushed to their limits as she fights to protect everything she holds dear amidst the haunting expanse of the cosmic graveyard.

Recenzii
"Palisano invites us into the vista of infinite space, teetering on oblivion. While technology welcomes us, something within us always grinds for awakening, and by delving into death, we will find it. A technological allegory for our time."
"Possessing a firm grasp of tradition but with his vision clearly focused on the future, John Palisano is exactly the type of writer horror needs right now: bold, brave, imaginative and unflinching."
"Imagine a huge cemetery floating in space and you have Requiem, an intensely creepy horror story that also asks the big questions: Are we wrong about the nature of reality? What does it mean to be human? Warning: Be prepared to feel like someone is walking on your grave."
