Thanks, Darkness! ;D Right now, it is tied for the most recommendations for short fiction. The recommendation period closes in just three short weeks, and then it will go on to voting to see what ends up on the final ballot. I will keep you posted.  |

Well, it's official: "Jiki" made the cut and appears on the preliminary ballot for the Bram Stoker Awards. This does not mean it is a nominee. Active members of the Horror Writers Association must now vote to narrow the field down to three. (Sometimes 3-5 nominees appear in a category because of ties or additions made by special juries.) The ballots have to be in by Feb. 10, and then the final ballots are announced. Those stories on the final ballot are the real nominees. Anyway, I'm quite proud and excited, and I will keep you posted. ;D Here's what I'm up against: SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN SHORT FICTION "Beneath Black Boughs My Darlings Slumber" by Cullen Bunn (Naked Snake Press) "Lucania" by Sandy DeLuca, and Michael McCarty (Hungur) "FYI" by Mort Castle (Masques V) "I'll Call You" by Mort Castle (Masques V: Further Stories) "Wet Work" by Curtis Hoffmeister (Desdmona) "The Alchemy from the Towers of Silence" by Gerard Houarner(Damned Nation) "Toad Lily" by Nicholas Kaufmann (Cemetery Dance) “The Bloodied Woman” by Nick Mamatas (Mississippi Review Online) "Tested" by Lisa Morton (Cemetery Dance) "Feeding the Dead Inside" by Yvonne Navarro (Mondo Zombie) "The Secret Lives of Heroes" by Weston Ochse (Horror Garage) "Balance" by Gene O'Neill (Cemetery Dance) "Sky of Thunder, Island of Blood" by Stephen Mark Rainey (Amazon Shorts) "Jiki" by Michael West (City Slab)Not one but TWO Mort Castle stories! I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!  |

City Slab #9, featuring my short story "Jiki," is now SOLD OUT! But fear not, I was able to get the last few copies of it and will have them with me at InConJunction for sale and signing. ;D
