Freakin Fridays!
Freakin Fridays is my own little meme. I’ll be posting about books, movies, and all things scary.
Feel free to join in and do your own Freakin Fridays posts!
Tune in every Friday. Get your scare on!
Let’s have some fun!
~~~~~~~
Imagine it. All alone on a planet far, far from home.
It’s a graveyard, the whole planet. And that’s all there is, you and the dead.
You think you are alone, but….you find you’re not.
The hologram you created for a companion doesn’t count. But she should.
She’s the one you’ll need when it comes calling.
I just had to read this book!
The premise is not that far-fetched.
Where will we put the dead in the years to come, when there is no more room to bury them.
This takes place 800 years in the future, when space travel is common, and for some, affordable.
You can come visit your loved ones, or just pay a fee to keep the grave maintained.
Kind of like a theme park for the dead.
That’s where the caretaker, Harvey Crane, comes in.
His job is to maintain the graves and keep the facility up and running, even though no one comes here anymore.
He takes a holographic image from a dead woman’s grave and enhances her so he’ll have someone to talk to. So he won’t feel so alone during his stint on the planet.
When things start going all weird and breaking down, he just thinks the equipment is in need of some maintenance.
But then he keeps seeing something streaking from gravestone to gravestone and he realizes he’s not alone. There’s something else, something monstrous here. And it wants him.
Even if there wasn’t something there, I would probably conjure something up in my half-crazed imagination.
No human contact and the only real voice you hear is your own. You could probably go for days without saying a word.
Who knows how you would handle that. What tricks your mind might play on you.
Except, it’s no trick this time!
The author took this awesome idea and ran with it. I read it in one sitting and had to go right out and get the next book in this series.
The ending was exciting and leads you to wonder, where is this series going next.
I look forward to finding out.
