spooky scary space
space can be quite terrifying, especially when you're isolated in unknown territory and know that it is unlikely that someone will come to your aid.
these are books to fuel your space related nightmares.

Is my overlap with this list 0%? Yes. Do I take this as my sign to get into space related books? Hell yeah.
Same! A travesty!!
don't worry my overlap is not big either xD i just read one space horror book and needed more of that
I don't want to be terrified by space, but I'm sure lots of other people do, and there's lots to choose from 👀
I was accidentally terrified by space by Love, Death, and Robots and I think most of the episodes are inspired by or adapted from books. I'm not sure if Beyond the Aquila Rift by Alastair Reynolds fits, but you could take a look. It's a short story.
I'm probably making a mistake by reading these kinds of books. I'm already quite terrified by space 🙈
I really need to check out Love, Death and Robots at some point. But the short story seems to be a fit. Might need to take a closer look though beyond a surface level search xD Thanks for the rec!
