✦ Synopsis

"Lucy Snyder's stories are the sort that carry you away to unusual places, usually dark ones, and this collection is a perfect example. As the follow-up to the Bram Stoker Award winning collection Soft Apocalypses, it contains plenty of darkly imaginative tales. Many of these stories, including the title piece, are heavily influenced by the work of H.P. Lovecraft and The King in Yellow mythos. They whisper madly among each other creating weird echoes. Like the black stars of theoretical astronomy they are dense entities born from polarization so strong that instead of collapsing into nothingness, a black hole, they instead form dark constellations burning dimly with spectral light."--Publisher's website.;Mostly monsters -- Spinwebs -- The strange architecture of the heart -- Approaching lavender -- Dura mater -- The still-life drama of passing cars -- Through thy bounty -- Cthylla -- While the black stars burn -- The abomination of Fensmere -- The girl with the star-stained soul -- Jessie Shimmer goes to hell -- Fable fusion.
