This is a great anthology of space horror,

What I love most about this anthology is that there is a well round range of horrors, not just different types of creatures, (although there is a few of those in there,) but there is more that just creatures to fear in the great expanse of space.

Usually I give a bit of information about some of the stories, but I don't want to spoil them for anybody, but If you like movies like, Alien, Event Horizon, Buried (not a space movie, but as a similar feel to one of the stories) and Moon, then you will like this book

some of my favourites are
Space Walk by Bob Warlock (great name also)
Son of Demeter by Bryan Young
The Faceless by Ryan Marie Ketterer
The Trocophore by Rachel Searcey
Locked out by Joseph Andre Thomas

This is a really neat anthology of space horror stories. I personally love space horror, and if you're like me you should check out this collection.  My personal favorites were Son of Demeter, a story where a man embarking on a long-haul mission starts to experience extreme pain and torture; and Planted in the Soil of Another World.

I did receive a copy of this book directly from the editor.
