“Black Star Black Sun is my tribute to Lovecraft, Ramsey Campbell, and the haunted fields of Somerset, where I seemed to spend much of my childhood. It’s a story about going home and finding horror there when something beyond human understanding begins to invade our reality. It encompasses broken dreams, old memories, lost loved ones and a fundamentally hostile universe. It’s the last song of a dying world before it falls to the Black Star.” – Rich Hawkins "Black Star, Black Sun possesses a horror energy of sufficient intensity to make readers sit up straight. A descriptive force that shifts from the raw to the nuanced. A ferocious work of macabre imagination and one for readers of Conrad Williams and Gary McMahon." - Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual "Reading Hawkins' novella is like sitting in front of a guttering open fire. Its glimmerings captivate, hissing with irrepressible life, and then, just when you're most seduced by its warmth, it spits stinging embers your way. This is incendiary fiction. Read at arms' length." - Gary Fry, author of Conjure House "Grim, gritty, modern cosmic horror that hits you like a star-splattered gut-punch." - Gary McMahon, author of The Grieving Stones
