The Zodiac Anthology: Aries

Have you ever wondered what star sign you are and what that means about your personality or future? I have! I’m born under the star sign of Taurus, though, according to the exact time and date of my birth, I also have Cancer, Gemini, Pisces, Aries, Libra, Sagittarius and Leo in my horoscopic ‘houses‘. Whether you’re a serious astrological investigator or enjoy a casual curiosity, it can be interesting to read about yourself and others with the help of long considered and established categories.

With this in mind, I’m thrilled that my short story ‘Made’ has been published today in a zodiac-inspired anthology by Aussie Speculative Fiction, Deadset Press, under the star sign of Aries. It explores the nature of rage!

Niam wants more than anything to protect his family from the dangers in his village. But the one thing he cannot control is the monster inside himself, waiting to be made…

There are other anthologies to come too, one on each star sign, all speculative in nature – which means a fictional narrative with supernatural or futuristic elements. Speculative stories can include science fiction, fantasy, science fantasy, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, supernatural fiction, superhero fiction, as well as combinations of such.

Why not watch out for the anthology of your sign! They’ll be available for sale over here as they’re published throughout the year.

In the meantime, if you:

  • have Aries in your star sign
  • know an Aries
  • enjoy reading about star signs
  • like reading
  • like my stories
  • like the look of this kind of thing

…why not gift yourself or someone you know the marvellous gift of story!

You can buy the anthology over here.

Thank you for reading!
