AQUARIUS is a collection of twisted poems and dark stories inspired by this fascinating Zodiac sign, as well as retellings of the myths behind the sign. The tales span multiple genres, including science fiction, horror, fantasy, dystopian and urban fantasy, told by some award-winning authors and new stars of the Australian and New Zealand speculative fiction scene.
A spectacular anthology by a highly talented group of authors! I think my favourite was probably Trident's Song by Nikky Lee, but all of the stories are well worth the read.
A great collection of unique stories exploring the Aquarius zodiac theme across many genres from Dark Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Paranormal Urban & Historical Fantasy. Recommended!
AQUARIUS is the second in a series of Speculative Fiction anthologies inspired by the signs of the Zodiac. This is a really unique collection, with some fantastic science fiction and fantasy stories interspersed with some shorter pieces and some excellent poems, all inspired by the myths behind the Aquarius sign. The standouts for me are Olympus9 by Tee Linden, a brilliant sci-fi story, She Walks on Frosted Fields by Aiki Flinthart, and Nikky Lee's Trident's Song, but each story is a distinctive and engaging piece! The diversity of genres, writing styles and story length means that this is a great collection to pick up, and you're more than likely going to find a new favourite author between the pages!
Definitely engaging in scope. For me, the ones that were a little more subtle toward the zodiac theme worked best, but all around some interesting ideas in this short collection.
