“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

The publisher of this very special signed limited edition of the 25th anniversary edition of Summer of Night by Dan Simmons has allotted us just twenty copies for our customers. Payment plans are available for this item (monthly or bi-weekly).
[list]
Signed by Dan Simmons
Limited to 500 signed and numbered copies worldwide
Includes ten full-color original illustrations by David Palumbo
Offset printed on 80# Finch paper
Smyth sewn binding
Features a wraparound dust jacket
Housed in a slipcase
[/list]
One of the signature horror novels of the 1990s, Dan Simmons’s magisterial Summer of Night is now twenty-five years old. In the course of that quarter century, it has firmly established itself as a classic of the genre, a book whose capacity to shock, amuse, move and horrify remains undiminished.
The story takes place in Elm Haven, Illinois in 1960 and begins at an iconic moment: the last day of school before the long summer vacation begins. But at Old Central School, soon due to close its doors forever, something ancient and implacable has begun to quicken, its hour come round at last. Soon, impossible figures, some of them long dead, are proliferating throughout Elm Haven, transforming what should be an idyllic summer into the crazed and bloody precursor to a new Dark Age.
