BLACK HOLE SUNDOWN by Brian Hodge is now live!
Brian Hodge’s Brian Hodge landmark short story collection, Black Hole Sundown, was originally released as a limited edition—and it’s now back in circulation in both eBook and paperback.
For readers who missed it the first time around, this is a major one: 600 pages of stories that push hard into cosmic horror, human horror, and everything in between. The eBook edition is currently just $0.99, or available free with Kindle Unlimited.
In his sixth, and likely final, full-length story collection, Brian Hodge delivers a vision of a universe that is both actively hostile and coldly indifferent—yet still the only place where meaning can be carved out of chaos. These stories move between the vast scale of cosmic terror and the intimate violence of human experience, where the real horror is often what people do to one another.
Inside you’ll find cartel violence colliding with ancient sacrifice, lost documentary obsessions spiraling into obsession and ruin, Lovecraftian decay reframed through modern bureaucracy, and social media as something closer to a hungry god than a tool. There are post-apocalyptic predators, buried family tragedies stretching across geological time, and the slow realization that nothing stays buried forever.
Stories include:
“West of Matamoros, North of Hell”
“Insanity Among Penguins”
“Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth”
“The Atrocity Exhibitionists”
“The Weight of the Dead”
“On These Blackened Shores of Time”
The collection builds toward a simple, unsettling idea: make your peace—because a black sun is coming down, and it’s going to swallow everything.
If you’ve been waiting for a chance to read this one without hunting down a rare edition, this is it.
