A review by arthurbdd
The Black Corridor by Michael Moorcock

5.0

This standalone novel is a sort of inverted SF-horror story: whilst most space-themed horror tales are about people discovering something terrible out in space, here the horrid thing is the baggage we take out there. With the plot focused on a spoiled, privileged group attempting to go into space in order to abandon an Earth gone to seed, the novel is more timely than ever; the protagonist's fate, steeped in poetic justice, is the sort of thing one can easily imagine befalling Elon Musk.
