A note for parents

Requiem is a gothic space-horror novella aimed at adult readers, featuring psychological horror, supernatural entities, and existential dread rather than graphic gore. The story explores grief, loss, and cosmic terror through a crew battling both an entity and their own fractured sanity. While there is violence and mature themes, the focus is on atmosphere and psychological horror rather than graphic depiction. This is best suited for older teens comfortable with horror conventions.
