From tales of bizarre violence and murder, haunted photographs and films, through reflections on the flexible borders of sanity and the perverse, to alien horrors from deep time, deep space, and the deep sea, Bright Dead Star is a veritable supernova of the weird and uncanny as only master fantasist Caitlín R. Kiernan can deliver. Among the collection’s twenty-five tales are a dying woman’s communion with the dying sea (“Strandling”), childhood recollections of a sky filled with rattlesnakes (“Crotalus”), to a loathsome couple with a far more loathsome secret (“L’homme et la femme terribles”), these are stories that pull no punches and demand that your preconceptions of genre should be checked before the book’s covers are even cracked. In short, this is Kiernan doing what Kiernan does best.
