A relationship broken. A ship in distress.

Horrors that shatter minds. A song that changes reality

Jett Valla and Eddie Stone stand between life and death for a million souls.

But can they save each other?

The QSR Neo-Tokyo was the first ship in the Quasar Metropolis-class fleet: an immense spaceship housing a glittering, neon-lit city and half a million people. For forty-five years, it has traveled from Jupiter to Pluto and back without incident. For the last six years First Officer Eddie Stone and Head of Security Jett Valla have built a life together aboard the ship. But no longer.

When the Neo-Tokyo intercepts a corrupted distress signal, Jett and Eddie are forced back together to plan a rescue mission to the Golden Lion. But within the code lies an eerie song that haunts them both. They see and hear things that do not exist, and are bound together by its strange tune, forcing them to reckon with their lingering feelings for each other.

The song swells within the confines of the ghost ship, where only corpses and questions await them. Something within the hold tormented the ship and those horrors follow an unraveling Jett and Eddie back to the Neo-Tokyo. And when they think they are finally safe, the crowded streets of their city run red with blood. They must confront cosmic horrors once more, and there’s no guarantee that they, or the Neo-Tokyo, will survive.

Metropolis Down is an adult space horror novel about grief, trauma, redemption, and horrors beyond comprehension.

I will hopefully come back with an actual review, but I couldn’t wait to rate it. Highlights for me: great world building, phenomenal narration, autism rep (additional kudos to the narrator for making Eddie so real and relatable), edge-of-your-seat sci-fi horror (as other people said—slow build until it’s not), second-chance romance with people who struggle to feel loved for who they are and who struggle to communicate due neurodivergence/trauma.

World building and narration so good it’s like a movie!
