Burnt Black Suns: A Collection of Weird Tales

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 Strantzasâ€™s wide range in theme and subject matter, from the Lovecraftian â€œThistleâ€™s Findâ€ to the Robert W. Chambers homage â€œBeyond the Banks of the River Seine.â€ But Strantzasâ€™s imagination, while drawing upon the best weird fiction of the past, ventures into new territory in such works as â€œOn Ice,â€ a grim novella of arctic horror; â€œOne Last Bloom,â€ 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 CaitlÃn R. Kiernan and Laird Barron as one of the premier weird fictionists of our time.
