Who Is the Keeper of Shadows?
A Persona Rooted in Lore. A Creator Rooted in Experience.
The Keeper of Shadows is the shadow‑born astrologer who interprets the 13 cursed archetypes of the Black Zodiac. But the Keeper is also the culmination of Keith’s lifetime of work in:
- horror writing
- mythological research
- Jungian shadow psychology
- occult symbolism
- narrative world‑building
- and decades of teaching, writing, and technical mastery
This dual identity – Keith the creator and the Keeper the mythic guide – forms the foundation of Horrorscopes’ authority and authenticity.
The Real Story Behind the Shadows: Keith G. Sorrell
Author • Educator • Researcher • Creator of the Black Zodiac
A Lifetime of Storytelling
Keith wrote his first short story in 1975, a sci‑fi horror tale inspired by the Greek Gods – marking the beginning of a lifelong fascination with myth, fear, and the unseen.
He once featured in Formidable Men Magazine whilst researching human interest stories.
For ten years, he produced a monthly magazine filled with original short stories, sharpening his craft and building a deep understanding of horror structure, pacing, and archetypes.
Educator & Curriculum Creator
Keith holds teaching certificates and spent years teaching I.T. in colleges around his hometown, writing all of his own course materials and books.
Keith earned his teaching certificates whilst teaching at Joseph Priestly College and qualified as an assessor whilst teaching at Thomas Danby College in Leeds. He also ran classes at the Five Towns Resource Centre in Castleford and Manygates Adult Education Centre in Wakefield..
This background in structured communication, curriculum design, and technical clarity directly informs the precision and psychological depth of the Black Zodiac system.
Living at the Edge of the Paranormal
Keith lives near 30 East Drive in Pontefract, widely regarded as the most haunted house in Britain. This proximity to one of the UK’s most infamous paranormal sites fuels the atmospheric authenticity of Horrorscopes and the Keeper persona.
Creator of the Black Zodiac
Keith has been running Horrorscopes for several years, and approximately three years ago, he developed the modern Black Zodiac – a 13‑sign system rooted in:
- Jungian shadow work
- demonology
- horror archetypes
- occult symbolism
- psychological storytelling
- ancient mythological patterns
This system is now the backbone of Horrorscopes and the Keeper’s teachings.
