"With "Burnt Black Suns, " Strantzas continues a trajectory into
deeper darkness . . . and in some respects the odyssey has brought
him closer to the primal core of the tradition and its rawest,
purest essentials."-From Laird Barron's foreword
"The stories of Simon Strantzas exemplify a style of horror that
might be compared to the novellas of T. E. D. Klein."-Thomas
Ligotti
""Burnt Black Suns" demonstrates Strantzas's remarkable narrative
skills, his unerring, feverish sense of pace, and his absolute
willingness to hurl himself into the darkest ranges of his
excellent imagination."-Peter Straub
"In "Burnt Black Suns" Strantzas casts far into time and space to
find the alien, and what comes back wriggling inside his net is
ghastly."-Adam Nevill
In this fourth collection of stories, Simon Strantzas establishes
himself as one of the most dynamic figures in contemporary weird
fiction. The nine stories in this volume exhibit Strantzas's wide
range in theme and subject matter, from the Lovecraftian "Thistle's
Find" to the Robert W. Chambers homage "Beyond the Banks of the
River Seine." But Strantzas's imagination, while drawing upon the
best weird fiction of the past, ventures into new territory in such
works as "On Ice," a grim novella of arctic horror; "One Last
Bloom," a grisly account of a scientific experiment gone hideously
awry; and the title story, an emotionally wrenching account of
terror and loss in the baked Mexican desert. With this volume,
Strantzas lays claim to be discussed in the company of Caitlin R.
Kiernan and Laird Barron as one of the premier weird fictionists of
our time.
