If you want to get really picky you could claim that space horror books only count as space horror if they take place in the vacuum of, you guessed it, space. Space horror books are a little subset of sci-fi horror, but where as sci-fi horror can take place here on Mother Earth, space horror takes place out there, beyond the ordinary. But which is worse-thinking that there might be something up there, or believing that we are completely alone in the entire universe? And that, I guess, is why we keep returning to the idea of space-even when it’s absolutely horrifying. Look at the big scary sky thing, mom, let’s poke it with a rocket and see what happens. The idea of discovery, of what might be out there, is as frightening as it is compelling. It’s full of potential, and it can fill us in turn with hope for the future, and the horror of the unseen. On a planet that is increasingly bereft of unknown places on the map marked with “here there be monsters,” space remains a great unknown.
