"In this volume you'll find seventeen tales guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine. You'll meet cold and dispassionate aliens--some so large they'll swallow your starship whole, others so small they'll turn your blood to dust. The prospect of encountering undead creatures such as vampires and zombies on Earth is frightening enough. Imagine meeting them while trapped during an interstellar flight. You'll join men and women as they dare to explore haunted spaceships. In the end, you may discover that the most frightening creatures we'll encounter among the stars are humans themselves"--Cover, p. [4].
