Dark Divinations: A Chat about HorrorAddicts.net's Newest Anthology
Season 1, Episode 34, May 22, 2020, 06:02 PM
HorrorAddicts.net's newest anthology is full of Dark Divinations indeed.
Court sat down and talked with Emerian "Emz" Rich and Naching T. Kassa from HorrorAddicts.net about their latest anthology, Dark Divinations. It contains 14 frightening tales of horror, all with two things in common:
- All stories are set in the Victorian era
- They all involve some method of divination
It didn't take Court long to realize as she spoke with Emz and Naching that the stories weren't your run-of-the-mill ones you might expect about seances or crystal balls. There are two stories that each deal with those methods of divination, but the authors were very clever and creative about thinking outside of the box.
For instance, two stories Naching used to highlight the unconventional ones found in Dark Divinations included "Of Blood and Bones" by Jeremey Megargee and "The Moat House Cob" by Allan Fisher. One utilizes the method of throwing bones, and the other employs arachnomancy where a spider --or rather its web-- is the seer's tool.
Emz's picks included ones that also had love stories in them: "Copper and Cordite" by Ash Hartwell and "Breaking Bread" by R. L. Merril. Dreams and bread allow the characters to see beyond the present in those.
All stories are dark and a bit Twilight Zone-ish, but there's something for everyone, from magical and thriller to gore and romance.
The other cool thing is they created a tarot card for each story. There are two options to choose from: black and white that you could color yourself if you're so inclined, or hand-painted. They were initially offered for pre-ordered books, but they'll continue selling them until supplies run out.
You can buy Dark Divinations on Amazon, but to get a copy with the tarot cards you have to visit HorrorAddicts.net and order through their site. Here's the link for that: http://www.emzbox.com/horroraddicts/darkdiv.
