This month sees the release of two anthologies in which I have stories. Both anthologies contain stories by World Fantasy Award Winner - Joel Lane and British Fantasy Award Winner - John Llewellyn Probert so I am in some great company!
First we have
Astrologica:
What's your star sign? Is our fate pre-determined by the constellations
and the position of the planets? Can astrology really present an
alternative vision to the apparent certainties of science, politics,
religion and celebrity culture? Or should its claims of determinism,
fate, fortune and personality profiling perhaps be taken with a large
pinch of salt? Here are fourteen brand new astrologically themed stories
to delight and enthral, spanning the range of science fiction, fantasy
and horror, with stories by Doug Blakeslee, Mark David Campbell, Storm
Constantine, Adam Craig, Megan Kerr, Joel Lane, Bob Lock, Jet McDonald,
David McGroarty, Ralph Robert Moore, Christine Morgan, David Turnbull,
Neil Williamson and Stuart Young. What is the secret of the white bull
and his labyrinthine ranch? Why should you never trust gifts you win at a
funfair? And why are twins always apparently at war with each other?
Then the next book is
Cthulhu Cymraeg
The old gods are dead … The older gods have returned! Before the American master of the macabre H. P. Lovecraft there was the Welsh wizard of the weird Arthur Machen, who filled his pages with tales of ancient evil. Now, completing the circle, comes a collection of original tales from the land of Machen following in the footsteps of Lovecraft and his uncanny creations. In What Others Hear by John Llewellyn Probert , a musician comes to rural Wales to convalesce in peace. But what terrible secrets hide behind the notes of the music he so loves? Adrian Chamberlin shows us that seemingly innocent old traditions can conceal sinister intentions when dark forces use them to deadly ends in Stranger Crossings. In Charles Black's tale, a brilliant Welsh scholar finds the price of knowledge can cost you everything when he discovers the true purpose of that dreaded tome The Necronomicon. And six more Lovecraftian tales of the otherworldly.
