Science Fiction Terror Tales is an anthology of science fiction horror short stories edited by Groff Conklin.

The first British edition was published under the alternate title Possible Tomorrows in hardcover by Sidgwick & Jackson in June 1972; a paperback edition was issued by Coronet under the same title in September 1973. It was later gathered together with the Donald A. Wollheim-edited anthology Trilogy of the Future into the omnibus anthology Science Fiction Special 9 (Sidgwick & Jackson, April 1974).[1]
The book collects fifteen novelettes and short stories by various science fiction authors, together with an introduction by the editor.
