4.0
The first science fiction story I’ve read this year and it was genuinely such a good novella. Set in the vastness of space, a lone survivor on a space craft from Earth finds herself saved by an alien ship and loses her hold on what’s real and what isn’t. This was horror filled and twisty and though the ending was something I predicted I enjoyed it a lot. I liked the way Meg Smitherman’s writing portrayed intense way the horrors of the main character’s mind as well as the descriptions of the space craft itself. It felt like a classic horror sci-fi movie in the best way.
