Overview

An apocalyptic world turned into a pitch-black sea of nothingness, but smuggler Rosi and her crew of survivors aren't alone. Something hungry lurks below... Driving a logging truck through the Romanian mountains, smuggler Rosi and her crew come across a radio signal that hints at impending doom. As the world goes completely dark, their truck becomes a vessel sailing across a sea of nothingness. But they're not alone: transmissions trickle in through the radio from similar isolated islands across the country, from amateur radio hobbyists and police cars and customs facilities. Attempting to rescue survivors and find a way out, the group save more lives, but soon discover that something hungry lurks below, and it's sending up agents – and transmissions – of its own. AUTHOR: Alex Woodroe is a Romanian writer and editor of dark speculative fiction. She's the author of Whisperwood, and has several short stories published in venues like Dark Matter Magazine and the Nosleep podcast. Alex lives in the heart of the Transylvanian region of Romania.

Praise for Whisperwood: ‘Modern horror done right, with gorgeous writing, moody overtones and a pace that keeps you turning pages well past your bedtime…a new face of horror has arrived.’ – Mike James, author of the Hotel at the End of Time series ‘Dark, but also achingly heartfelt, clever, and funny.’ – Lauren Bolger, author of Kill Radio

""Woodroe expertly maintains suspense throughout this unsettling and immersive sci-fi thriller about an apocalyptic event in 1987 Romania. [...] Readers will be on the edges of their seats."" -- Publishers Weekly “A high-gear hurtle through the vast of night with a remarkable cast of characters, human and otherwise.” -- Michael Boulerice, author of Feeding the Wheel “The Night Ship evokes a sense of fear with undercurrents of paranoia of the unknown, fusing the existential dread of cosmic horror with the gripping mystery of a fast-paced thriller. There's a sense of claustrophobia despite the expansive landscape, and a messy intimacy that brings these characters to life.” -- Michael Bettendorf, author of Trve Cvlt ""Fans of weird horror with cosmic and survivalist themes will surely enjoy this expertly plotted and thrilling take on the genre."" -- Helen Whistberry Praise for Whisperwood: ‘Modern horror done right, with gorgeous writing, moody overtones and a pace that keeps you turning pages well past your bedtime…a new face of horror has arrived.’ – Mike James, author of the Hotel at the End of Time series ‘Dark, but also achingly heartfelt, clever, and funny.’ – Lauren Bolger, author of Kill Radio
