A mix of classic science fiction reprints where the scary stuff happens in space. "The oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown," the grand master of horror, H.P. Lovecraft, once wrote. And the greatest unknown is the vast universe, shrouded in eternal cosmic night. One might hope that in the void beyond the earth will be found friendly aliens, benevolent and possibly wiser than humanity, but don't be surprised if other worlds have unpleasant surprises in store for future visitors. And in vacuum, no one will be able to hear your screams.
