Cold, Black & Infinite: Stories of the Horrific & Strange

Todd Keisling demonstrates considerable versatility in this collection, ranging from domestic horror to historical mystery. The volume succeeds in establishing the author as a leading voice in contemporary horror through narratives that seamlessly blend supernatural events with deeply personal struggles. The inclusion of an introduction by John Langan frames these tales effectively within the context of modern horror literature. The stories require patience but offer rich psychological depth and atmospheric build-up. It suits fans of Bram Stoker Award-nominated fiction who enjoy strange and horrific tales rather than straightforward narratives. While it may not appeal to those seeking traditional horror tropes, it invites readers to face the abyss with courage.

Readers who appreciate the slow, methodical construction of dread will find significant reward in this volume. The collection offers a unique opportunity to engage with narratives that blend the supernatural with deeply personal themes of loss and transformation. Those willing to invest patience in atmospheric build-ups and psychological depth will be rewarded with stories that explore the darker corners of human experience. It is ideal for those seeking horror that moves beyond traditional tropes to investigate societal decay and the unknown. The inclusion of previously unpublished work provides fresh perspectives on established styles, making it a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of strange fiction who value versatility and emotional resonance in their reading material.
