Deep Sky Void - James Atkinson

In the fall of 1989, the hottest vacation destination waterpark in the country, Riptide Rapids, throws its 2nd annual Halloween celebration, converting the grounds into a haunted island. Thousands of thrill-seekers from around the world arrive expecting a spooky good time.

No one is aware a sinister entity has arrived, ready to unleash its evil plot, making Riptide Island a breeding ground for cosmic monstrosities.

Park employees, Jared and Cindy, notice a transformation among co-workers first. Small shifts in behavior. Vacant stares. A strange hesitation before speaking. Once vibrant personalities replaced by a mechanical detachment. As the mysterious condition spreads, they must determine what is causing the infection and find a way to stop it.

Joined by park visitors, Pete and Nola, and only vaguely aware of the true depth and gravity of the threat, they must race against time to stop the contagion before it expands beyond control. The fate of park guests and mankind rests upon their shoulders.

From James Atkinson, a new voice in horror fiction and author of the harrowing creature feature Pound Of Flesh, comes a heart-stopping tale questioning everything you thought you knew about our galaxy. Deep Sky Void is a masterful blend of body horror and psychological terror that will have you sleeping with the lights on.
