Horror

Every person in the universe, from the lowliest scrumrat to the mightiest Jedi Master, has fears. Though the specific fears differ, most come back to one central idea: the unknown. Whether we question what lurks unseen in the dark or what poorly understood forces grant some their unnatural abilities or just what keeps making the eery screeching sound in the night, it all comes back to the unknown. As Star Wars is set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, it's no shock that it is absolutely teeming with the unknown. From viruses that raise the dead to crazed, spider-legged Sith Lords roaming for prey, there is no shortage of terrifying stories.

In our own galaxy, whether looking to celebrate Halloween or just to enjoy the macabre, there's no reason we can't celebrate with Star Wars. This collection puts together some of the scariest, strangest, most chilling stories that the Star Wars Expanded Universe has to offer!

Just remember, if you do hear that eery screeching sound in the night while reading these stories, it's...probably nothing.
