Have you read...
Area X has been cut off from the rest of the world for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition.
The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—but it’s the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.
submit a horror book!

There are things that live in hyperspace. They're hard to find, because that realm is dark and starless, so most consider them nothing more then cryptid stories, but they're real. They don't just float either, there's entire ships out there, and space stations, mabye even planets.
They say whatever lives there is a dark mirror of what lives out here. In the part of space that has a civilization that upgrades their body with technology, hyperspace is filled with biomechanical horrors that assimilate technology and flesh alike. The areas of space inhabited by a race of psychics has a hivemind in hyperspace endlessly assimilating new beings into itself. In the part of space that has a race of honorable warriors, hyperspace has a race of brutal killers who lust for blood. And in the part of space that has wise ancient beings, hyperspace has eldrich horrors the likes of which no world has ever seen.
Nobody has seen what the dark mirror of humanity is. But we know the the areas around earth has the most hyperspace disappearances, and the most legends about horrors taking people in the night. Perhaps such a species is where ancient legends of faeries or ufos come from. The thing that mirrors the race that adapts, the race that spreads, the race that conquers.
