Deadset Press has produced a banger Zodiac series, with anthologies inspired by the signs of the Zodiac.
This year, Deadset are releasing Wandering Stars, a ‘best of’ series, and the anthology is now available for pre-order! (Paperback coming soon!)
I’m so pleased my story ‘The Endless Chase’ was included to represent for Scorpio! The Endless Chase is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orion and Artemis, exploring themes of wisdom, human connection and legacy.
I’m BIG into the myth retellings, so this was a FUN story for me to write. It was originally published in Scorpio from Deadset Press.
Available to preorder from:
Wandering Stars is an anthology of speculative fiction tales inspired by the mythology and imagery of the twelve Zodiac signs. This collection features twenty-four of the best stories from Australian Speculative Fiction’s ‘The Zodiac Series’ with each sign being represented by two tales.
The twisted and delightful stories cover many genres, including science fiction, fantasy, and horror, and are written by some exciting stars of the Australian and New Zealand speculative fiction scene.
So excited to share news of ‘From the Waste Land’, an upcoming anthology from PS Publishing!
What is it?
A collection of spec stories inspired by TS Eliot’s transformative poem The Waste Land.
What is ‘The Waste Land’?
The poem The Waste Land was a game changer, dealing with the cultural disillusionment that occurred after the first world war. I’m no poetry analysis expert, but to me, Eliot’s poem has a liminal feel. Things are changing, from the old ways of doing things to the new, and within that void, people must determine how to live.
‘From the Waste Land’ gathers spec stories set in the past, in other worlds, in the future, all inspired by this poem.
