  I can't hardly find any Horror taking place in space or dealing with Aliens.  Mostly the same few books get mentioned like Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Hyperion books (not horror at all), Blindsight, and a few others.

  I'm going to try The Reality Dysfunction series by Peter F. Hamilton next.  Ship of Fools in not in Audio Form unfortunately.  Another I just learned of is The Void by Brett J. Talley but it's also not in Audio form yet.  Any other suggestion of Horror stories like the movies Pitch Black, Pandorum, Event Horizon, Life?

  It seems this would be a big market for authors to tap into since it's virtually untouched and Horror is so much about the Unknown and what is more unknown than space?

Some parts of Hyperion are very horrific: the cruciform creatures particularly.

Anyway, there's zombies in Star Wars: "Death Troopers" - Joe Schreiber and the prequel "Red Harvest",

which you can find here: https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/star-wars-req/

Many Lovecraftian stories involve aliens -- the Old Ones and their Shoggoths are alien.

Be a bit more specific about what you mean by "horror"; it's a wide genre and a lot of books not marketed as "horror" actually could qualify as one type or another.
