Title: A great collection with a fabulous title story
Review: It's pretty rare to find a collection of short stories that doesn't have at least one 'dud' in it, but this is one such collection. Every story was really good with the exception of the title story, _Nightflyers_, which was absolutely fabulous and is now one of my favorite sci-fi stories. All the stories have a dark element of horror or creepiness. You have spirit possessed spaceships, corpses being animated and used for manual labor, aliens hosting on humans in the guise of gods, etc...This is not hard sci-fi, which is exactly why I like it. The horror/sci-fi mix reminds me of the first _Alien_ movie and of _Event Horizon_.
