Hard science fiction is a category of science fiction characterized by concern for scientific accuracy and logic. This list focuses on books that are set in space or feature space travel, with horror themes, that show a relative concern for scientific accuracy including any logical extensions of modern theories.

These books should try to be accurate, logical, credible and rigorous in their use of current scientific and technical knowledge about which technology, phenomena, scenarios and situations that are practically and/or theoretically possible.

This list was initially programmatically compiled via taking the intersection of numerous Hard Science Fiction and Space Horror lists.
