* [[Robin Jarvis]]' ''The Deptford Mice'': {{spoiler|Jupiter intends to put out the sun and cause eternal winter}}.
* In Fritz Leiber's story "A Pail Of Air", Earth has frozen over after being pulled out of its orbit and cast into deep space.
* Where [[The Bible]] mentions [[Total Eclipse of the Plot|an anomalous eclipse]] following the crucifixion, ''[[The Book of Mormon (novelliterature)|The Book of Mormon]]'' goes it one better and drops the American continents into three days of darkness ([[Foreshadowing|as was previously prophecied]] by [[Heel Face Turn|Samuel the Lamanite]]).
* In '[[The Sword of Shannara]]' the [[Big Bad|Warlock Lord]] turns the Northland into this.
* ''Nightfall'' by [[Isaac Asimov]] depicts a world with several suns, where normal night never falls and people are completely unaccustomed to darkness. Which is why, when every two thousand years total solar eclipse occurs, the ensuing darkness drives everybody insane and makes them burn down their cities in a desperate craving for light. How long the eclipse actually lasts is unknown, but apparently everybody decides, that [[The Night That Never Ends]] has fallen.
