Summary Sci-fi and horror are two genres that often go hand in hand, but it takes skill for authors to perfectly blend these story types in their books. There's usually a significant overlap between horror and sci-fi fans, as the genres elevate each other and focus on similar themes. Questions of what it means to be human and the horrible actions people take in the face of fear feature prominently in both horror and science fiction.
9 Your Mind Is A Terrible Thing Written by Hailey Piper Many things will appeal to readers of all genres in Hailey Piper's Your Mind is a Terrible Thing, such as horror, science fiction, and LGBTQ+ themes, which aren't highlighted enough within these genres. Piper, however, explores new territory in a novel that could have easily fallen into the trap of being too similar to movies like Alien and other trapped-in-space plots.
The author, S.A. Barnes, has mentioned movies like Titanic and The Shining in her comparisons to the novel. Both are apt in terms of the visual descriptions and atmospheric tensions. Dead Silence features plenty of twists and red herrings. However, it's impossible to put down as the reveals only serve to pull the reader deeper into the story's web.
6 Rosewater Written by Tade Thompson The first of a trilogy, Rosewater tackles how narratives of alien invasion are inextricably intertwined with the human history of colonialism. It's set in the city of Rosewater, Nigeria, which exists in the near future right next to an alien enclave that few humans have seen inside. Rumors fly about what's inside the alien city and if these invaders truly have the power to heal the sick.
Though it soon becomes clear that a group of aliens is essentially using those trapped in the dome as entertainment, the real threat to the resident's survival is each other. While some Stephen King movies and TV shows are wildly different from his books, the TV iteration of Under the Dome was highly praised, especially in season 1. Despite this, to get a feel for Under the Dome, the best course of action is to read King's novel.
The terror that accompanies a loss of control over mental faculties is an experience that has been explored many times across literature and media. However, Obscura brings something new to the table by focusing on an emerging and inexplicable form of dementia that doesn't discriminate what age group suffers from the disease. At the heart of the story is Gillian Ryan, a doctor researching the disease who has already suffered enormous losses at its hands.
