The Universe may not be a 'nice' neighborhood... “The oldest andstrongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown,” the grand master ofhorror, H.P. Lovecraft, once wrote. And the greatest unknown is the vastuniverse, shrouded in eternal, cosmic night. What things might be on otherplanets — or in the dark gulfs between the stars? Giving very unsettlinganswers to that question are such writers as Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke,Robert Sheckley, Philip K. Dick, James. H. Schmitz, Clark Ashton Smith, Cyril M.Kornbluth, Alastair Reynolds, Neal Asher, Sarah A. Hoyt, and more, all equallymasters of science fiction and of terror.
