STARLESS and Bible Black: the Night the Stars Went Out

On a crisp, clear night the stars and planets vanish, leaving only the Earth, our Moon, and our Sun. Suddenly, mysteriously, and totally. As the world scrambles to try to make sense of what happened, individuals must each deal with the effect the phenomenon has on them.

WOULD YOU MISS THEM? Why should this change anything? The stars had no tangible effect before they left. Why should their absence even matter at all?

In STARLESS and Bible Black, DiLeo's collection of related short stories, he uses science as a backdrop to put humanism in the foreground for a fascinating juxtaposition of cosmic effect and psychological affect. Exploring the intangible effect the cosmos exerts on politics, society, religion, civilization, mores, and the individual, STARLESS and Bible Black tells the story of our place in the universe, whether we notice or not.
