I had a completely different blog post scheduled for today (I've been doing my best to make the website look alive) but something else popped up in the interim.
The British Fantasy Society published its shortlist for this year's British Fantasy Awards. Among the categories represented is the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel, and I'm delighted to announce that The Hollows is one of the nominees!
It shares the short list with Sundial by Catriona Ward, Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey, Miracle Growth by Tim Mendees and Full Immersion by fellow Angry Robot author Gemma Amor!
I'm absolutely gobsmacked and very, very pleased.
I'm enormously grateful to everyone at Angry Robot, but especially Simon Spanton, Caroline Lambe, Desola Coker, Gemma Creffield, Amy Portsmouth and Eleanor Teasdale. Big, big thanks also to Anne C. Perry and Meg Davis of the Ki Agency. And huge, huge gratitude to all the reviewers and bloggers who liked the book and helped to spread the word.
You can find the full shortlist for the BFAs here.
