"In WHAT REMAINS WHEN THE STARS BURN OUT, McMillan imagines the horrors lying in the cracks of the world, between stars, and those clutching at the human heart. And she does not spare the rod when it comes to creepiness, growing dread, and absolute terror. An exciting new voice sounding from the shadows."
— John Hornor Jacobs, author of A Lush and Seething Hell, The Incorruptibles, and Murder Ballads and Other Horrific Tales
"The best kind of horror—the kind that digs deep and forces you to confront your fears, to stare them straight in the face and overcome them—is a rare find indeed. With themes of anxiety, paranoia, love, and loss, What Remains When The Stars Burn Out by P.L. McMillan is an example of horror done right. This magnificent collection is a tour-de-force, gut-punch of the cosmic variety, wonderfully strange and intimately disturbing. Every story has hooks, every sentence teeth. Ones that, once they sink in, don’t let go. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time to come."
— Caleb Stephens, Wallpaper Man
“These pages are soaked in the ink-blood of ancient and nameless evils who caress with stinging tentacles that are equally horrifying and seductive. There is no escape from the vast hopelessness, which is good, because you may find yourself longing to sacrifice yourself to join with it. An inspired collection complete with beautiful, accompanying illustrations for each story, What Remains When Stars Burn Out is a cosmic horror triumph.”
— Angela Sylvaine, Chopping Spree
