A toxic polycule fights for survival on a lethal planet haunted by a self-cleaning mechanism.
This novella centers on three individuals trapped in a relationship strained by jealousy and past trauma. They settle on New Belaforme, hoping to escape their history. The planet's ecosystem includes the Gray, which targets any sign of intrusion. When outsiders wake this defense system, the protagonists must hide while their own bonds fracture. Ashing-Giwa uses the setting to amplify interpersonal conflict. The narrative does not offer easy escapes or happy endings. It focuses on the psychological toll of living in constant fear of both people and nature.
Published by HighBridge Audio in September 2024, this work sits within the tradition of space horror and gothic fiction. It draws inspiration from authors like S. A. Barnes and Cassandra Khaw, merging cosmic dread with intimate character studies. The story reflects contemporary interests in complex relationship dynamics and environmental anxiety.

📖 Why choose it
Why this book is worth reading
Readers seeking a heavy, atmospheric experience will find this novella compelling. It appeals to those who enjoy cosmic horror where the environment itself is the antagonist, specifically fans of S. A. Barnes's sense of dread or Cassandra Khaw's eerie tones. The book is ideal for audiences interested in macabre romance and psychological tension, offering a study of how jealousy and past trauma fracture bonds under extreme pressure. It is not suitable for those seeking lighthearted adventure or easy escapes, as it focuses on the psychological toll of constant fear and the consequences of actions in a world that does not forgive mistakes.
⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ashing-Giwa delivers a tense narrative where interpersonal conflict mirrors the lethal external threat. The novella excels in using the planet New Belaforme to amplify the protagonists' internal struggles, turning the Gray into a metaphor for their fractured relationships. The structure effectively balances dual dangers, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere that sustains suspense. This work suits readers who appreciate dark fantasy and true crime-esque realism applied to sci-fi settings. It offers a grim, unflinching look at human nature when stripped of social safety nets, providing a satisfyingly bleak experience for those who prefer their horror with substantial psychological depth rather than simple jump scares or heroic triumphs.
