About The Book
"Bold, brave, imaginative and unflinching."
Ava must fight an entity locked in on taking out the crew of the Eden, a moon-sized cemetery in space, as it brings back the souls of the dead buried aboard. One such soul is Ava’s lost love, Roland.
The spirits of the interred on the Eden haunt those aboard, including a visiting musician is tasked with writing a new song for the dead. Her Requiem calls a cosmic entity that illuminates their darkest fears and secrets. One by one, they’re driven mad. Ava fights her grief and must rise up before they’re lost and the entity reaches Earth.

Raves and Reviews
"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."
– L. E. Daniels, Bram Stoker Award® Nominee and author of Serpent's Wake: A Tale for the Bitten
"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."
– Bentley Little, Bram Stoker Award® Winner
"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."
– Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor and The Hunger
