This list is dedicated to the astronauts and survivors who find themselves completely alone in the universe, either on a spaceship or on a different planet, like Watney from The Martian, which we left off this list because, well, everyone knows about The Martian. This kind of loneliness can span across genres, so we’ve divided this up into two categories: survival and horror. Naturally there can be some overlap between the two, but we placed the more hardcore, firmly-in-space-horror camp selections under that category in case you’re just looking to be scared absolutely silly by the things that will hunt or haunt you when you are isolated and very, very alone in the cold depths of space. Happy reading, space travelers.
