Synopsis

Communications specialist Alto’s shift aboard the starship M.G. Yellowjacket turns hellish after waking from a tryst to learn every crewmate has vanished. Worse, a sinister presence has crawled aboard the ship. It’s violent, destructive, and it can reach into your thoughts to make you see and feel what it wants.

Anxiety-ridden Alto might be the least-qualified person to face a creature that can hack minds like computers. Only a perilous journey to the ship’s bridge can reunite comms specialist with crew and give them a chance to call for help.

But the intruder only scratches the surface of this crisis, and discovering the truth will bring Alto face to face against a nightmare beyond flesh and thought.

[Solid 3½ stars.] If I’d trust one writer to tell a space-horror story well (a niche genre that’s a lot harder to pull off than you might think), it would be Hailey Piper, an author who has demonstrated there’s no subject matter too gonzo for her to tackle at least once. Sure enough, Your Mind Is a T......more

3.5 Stars More cute than scary, this was fun space horror with some queer romance sprinkled in. Some of the author's previous work was a little too weird/cosmic for my tastes, but I found this one quite tame. I would be comfortable to recommend it to a wide mainstream horror audience.......more

Goodreads review by Ellis on July 09, 2022

What's worse, anxiety or crawling feral brains that keep trying to pierce your consciousness and spread purple horrors within? Well, why not both? Myriad terrors await our poor anxious character Alto, communications guru on a "corpse ship"; from an ill-advised-to-this-reader hookup with their therap......more

Goodreads review by Zach on May 05, 2022

The best way I can describe Hailey Piper's work is horror with hope and humanity. I've said in the past how few writers excite me like her novels, and Your Mind I a Terrible Thing is a sterling example of why. Alto awakens on a desolate spaceship after they spend the night with a counselor, and finds......more
