Title: Not a novelization of the movie, the book came first
Review: It was originally titled The Space Vampires. The copy I read had a picture of a seductive woman on the cover with fangs and a trickle of blood. I put off reading it for a while because I thought it would be cheesy.However I was pleasantly surprised. While the movie wasn't bad, and was visually stimulating (especially the female "vampire"), the book is much better. It contained more detail and contained many significant plot threads that were omitted from the film. If you have a chance to read this book, do so. I also enjoyed The Mind Parasites, also by Colin Wilson.
