Horrorscopes: Exorcise the Monsters Within and Unleash the Scary Side of Your Sun Sign

by Stella Hyde

Everyone knows their astrological sign, but how many of us know what monsters lurk within the zodiac? You may have your the glowing red eyes after a night on the town, an irresistible attraction to a white neck, a few lost days every month, a feeling of supernatural superiority, but what you probably don't know is that your star sign influences your evil incarnation of choice.

Let Horrorscopes explain why you are what you are, how your ruling planet forces you into evil ways, how your rising sign can mask your true monstrous reality, what you would do on a really bad day, and how you can fight your evil twin and exorcise your monster within--that is, if you really want to.

Bestselling author Stella Hyde reveals the dark side of the 12 sun signs, from Aries the Fire Demon to Pisces the Sea Wolf. For each sign the Jekyll and Hyde traits are revealed along with aspects like "Your Deadliest Sin" and how your monstrous side manifests itself at work, at home and at play.

Horrorscopes is something new under the astrology sun--fun and a bit scary!

I received this book from Goodread's First Read Program in exchange for a review:

Astrology taken in a not 'typical' manner is awesome, I have read several books and articles on astrology and have been fascinated with the subject since I was eleven-ish. I sit in that comfortable range of finding it interesting and finding it utterly ridiculous, jokingly and partially seriously blaming all the quirks and oddness-es of various people on their astrological read out.

But you know what, I am tired of being villainized for my sun sign, just because I am a Scorpio does not mean I am a villain (I just play them in RPGs). It is sad when friends give my boyfriend a compassionate pat on the shoulder, because dealing with me is 'so hard' but no one ever gives me a bit of solace for having to deal with an Aries! Being the biggest badass in the zodiac is lonely, but that is ok, because the section covering Scorpio has a werewolf quoting my favorite David Bowie song. That is enough to almost make me forgive the author for saying we don't have a monster mode, that we are always monsters. Hmph.

My own beef with my sign's legacy aside, this tongue-in-cheek look at astrology is hilarious. Similar to her other book, Darkside Astrology (one of my favorite books once upon a time) you have lots of sarcasm and dark humor mixed with actual descriptions of the astrology signs. Plus this book is conveniently sized for a slightly wider than average pocket meaning you can terrorize people with astrology details while being all goth on the city bus.

utterly silly, which occasionally we all need. however if no bases of zodiac or horoscope knowledge may wanna skip this particular silliness.

It's interesting read, but a little strange! If you are into horoscopes, you will like it.

I got this book from a goodreads giveaway.
I have always loved astrology, so i was really excited to receive this book. I really liked it. It said some unflattering things about me, but if im being honest when my monster comes out, its true. I loved reading other peoples horrorscope to them. If you like astrology, and want to learn about the downside to your sign or anyone else this is the book for you.

good concept, bad writting. it had a bad understanding of the signs and how their characteristics manifest but i always like being compared to werewolves (scorpio fyi) so it gets at least 2 stars
