Welcome to Riptide Rapids, a sprawling waterpark escape featuring twisting water slides, thrilling rides, neon lights, and endless year-round fun. In the fall of 1989, the park throws its annual Halloween celebration, converting the grounds into a haunted island. Thrill-seekers from around the world arrive expecting a spooky good time, but instead find themselves in a cosmic nightmare far beyond anything ever imagined. Employees 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, the park becomes a dark labyrinth of twisted attractions and sinister forces. A small group of employees and park visitors, only vaguely aware of the true depth and gravity of the threat, race against time-and an unknown terrifying foe-to uncover the dark secret behind the infection. 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.
