Recommend me a scifi horor on a spaceship

[Jakub]

Hello guys, I am looking for a space ship based sci-fi horror. Think Event Horizon in book form. Any recommendations? Thanks

[Trike]

So a really terrible story about stupid people doing things that make no sense? Hmm...

Joking aside, A.E. van Vogt's fix-up book, The Voyage of the Space Beagle, is widely cited as an inspiration for the movie Alien

[Sarah]

I've just started Blindsight. I believe it's space horror but I don't know how much is on a spaceship.

There might be something here you can use: Space Horror Listopia

I want to read half of what's on that list :)

Space Hulk: The Novel is a novel about a massive derelict spaceship infested with deadly monsters and the special troops sent to wipe them out.

Great suggestion! Voyage is a definite classic of the genre!

[Jakub]

Thank you very much, will check it out!

Oh man, I'd love to read something like that as well. I'm a huge fan of Alien, Event Horizion, and the Dead Space games.

Hmm...well you know what they say, write what you want to read? Time to put some ideas onto paper....

I tried to make a recommendation, but looks like it was deleted.

I just finished that book and it mostly takes place on a space ship (and on an alien space ship, sort of thing).

I'm not sure I'd really call it horror, even though it's got a vampire in it. It's pretty hard SF (a lot about biology and sentience and AI and whatnot), and rather densely written. I'd call it more a Posthuman or Transhuman tale, as well as first encounter.

However ... it does have some of the best conceived truly alien-seeming aliens I've ever read.

Yes, it was self promotion, which is not allowed outside of the Goodreads Authors Discussion folder.

I thought it was creepy but I wouldn't call it horror either.

[Lindsey]

Ok. Figured it was relevant to the topic/request.

Everything is self promotion when you really think about it

Hull Zero Three by Greg Bear might interest you. Not sure it's strictly horror though.

The premise is that a man wakes up alone and naked on a space ship, with no idea what is going on, and everything on the ship seems to be trying to kill him.

I've read it and thought it was excellent.

That's how I feel every day. Definitely will check that out. Thanks!

Not a book but, if you like the description of Hull Zero Three, and have not yet seen it, check out the film Pandorum.
