I had a wonderful, exhausting time at Readercon culminating with the Shirley Jackson awards at which all the winning stories were published by me. Scary but very satisfying.

The best part were the nominee "gifts" everyone was given: a large stone with "Shirley Jackson Awards 2007" printed on it. I will cherish it and promise not to throw it at those who don't like the anthology.

SHORT STORY: "The Monsters of Heaven", Nathan Ballingrud (Inferno, Tor)
COLLECTION: The Imago Sequence, Laird Barron (Night Shade Books)
ANTHOLOGY: Inferno, edited by Ellen Datlow (Tor)

Ah. Yes, THE DARK is the ghost story antho from Tor. Oh yes, definitely get Laird's collection if you can THE IMAGO SEQUENCE, which just won the collection award!

I can't! We're totally sold out at our warehouses, and I can't order it into the store from any other sources :( It's the only thing that makes me wince about this display. I'm already trying to spread word about the TPB, hoping that if enough people demand it, it'll get out sooner. (Probably a crazy dream, but I'm so going to reread that to tatters when it comes out. *wants so bad*).

That's too bad! Well if they buy INFERNO they'll get a story by him. And yeah, YBFH # 19 has "Proboscis".
