Another science fiction anthology is which I figure has been released — Playing with Fire from Third Flatiron Anthologies. This collection features — in the words of its Amazon blurb — “cautionary tales of fires and backfires from botched inventions, culture clashes, evil empires, comets and meteors, Greek gods and vengeful spirits, voracious foodstuffs, zombie children, and, of course, man’s best friend.” I was trying to determine where on the list my story fits and decided “Fate’s Finger” is either culture clash or evil empire. It is a tale from my futuristic Imperium that focuses on religious divisiveness, so there is definitely “empire” and definitely a “clash” of ideas, but definitely no zombies.
Playing With Fire can be found here.
