I’ll be participating in two events to help launch my new collection, BURNT BLACK SUNS. The first will be a Reddit AMA on June 15th. If there’s anything you’d like to know, perhaps this is the time. Sign-up for the Horror Lit Reddit now in preparation, then visit on the 15th to ask your question: reddit.com/r/horrorlit

A few days later, on June 18th, I’ll be participating in ChiZine’s monthly ChiSeries in downtown Toronto. I’ll be reading a story not actually included in BBS, but I suspect the story will be more entertaining for the listener. I’ll even have a handful of books with me for purchase by the uninitiated. More details can be found here: chiseries.com

BURNT BLACK SUNS is already receiving some great reviews and word of mouth.

“I have no doubt that this will be one of the strongest contenders come award season, and shouldn’t be missed by any fan of literary weird horror.” — The Arkham Digest

“Read and enjoy – if you can enjoy being scared and profoundly disturbed.” — TeleRead

“I can honestly say that it’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed by a weird fiction collection.” — Rising Shadows

“Burnt Black Suns is a landmark collection and is easily Simon’s strongest and most diverse.” — Richard Gavin
