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 Caitlín R. Kiernan and Laird Barron as one of the premier weird fictionists of our time.
