Review of Space Station X

Space Station X: A lesbian comedy horror in space by A.Z. Rozkillis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I am a Kickstarter backer of this publisher, and this book was one of my rewards. The author, A. Z. Rozkillis, says in her bio that she "builds spaceships in her day job" and this novel feels like it. Our narrator, Jaz, is one of two crewmembers on an interstellar space station / pit stop. She's a hermit and is there because it's as far away from humanity as she can get. She's got a routine which works for her to minimize contact with the rest of the station's rotating cast of residents.

This being a horror novel, things happen which upset that routine, including a bit of unexpected romance with Saunders, the station's sole security officer. the book is billed as a "lesbian horror comedy." There are some humorous moments in there, more of the wisecracks you'd get in an action movie as opposed to LOL moments, but the horror is definitely there. I found it highly engaging.
