Echoes in the Black

It has been centuries since any ship dared cross the Veil. A region of dead, lightless space abandoned after the last travellers who entered it never returned.

Marcus Carpenter, a disgraced transport pilot with few options left, takes a high-paying job to haul sealed cargo through the one route every sane navigator avoids. The terms are simple: fast transit, no inspection, no questions.

But the deeper he pushes into the Veil, the more the Charon begins to change. Sensors drift. Systems behave as though something unseen is interfering. Shadows cling to the walls a little too long. And the thing he’s carrying… begins to unsettle the very air around it.

Out here, in a place humanity once sealed off and forgot, Marcus begins to understand that the real question isn’t why no one travels through the Veil anymore.

It’s what has been waiting in the dark all this time.

And now that he’s here— it has finally found him.

A slow-burn blend of sci-fi horror and atmospheric suspense, Echoes in the Black explores isolation, forbidden space, and the terrifying consequences of venturing into places meant to stay undisturbed.
