Rue Morgue on BRIGHT DEAD STAR by Caitlin R. Kiernan

Caitlín R. Kiernan’s most recent collection, Bright Dark Star, continues to rack up stellar reviews.

This blurb’s from one that appeared in Rue Morgue Magazine:

“These stories are like pieces retrieved from deep sleep, or deep time, or deep space. Their effects should be experienced. Take ‘Build Your Houses with Their Backs to the Sea,’ wherein a reporter is invited to a disturbing ocean-themed art exhibition in a shack on the shore. The story’s essence is beyond words: retelling the plot doesn’t even begin to describe how profoundly scary the whole damn nightmare really is… Try it for yourself. This mammoth 450-page hardcover volume is heavy as a fossil, but it is not dead: like the best books in contemporary horror, it is a breathing, living, dreaming thing.”

Trade Hardcover Edition: $45

Signed, Limited Edition: 600 signed numbered copies, with the bonus novella: $95

As a reminder, the signed limited edition includes a bonus volume, Zoetrope Bizarre, a new novella in which the weird and cinematic intersect.
