An Unexpected Honour
May. 1st, 2011 02:50 pmMy friend David Conyers just told me that two of my short stories (one of which is a collaboration with David) made Ellen Datlow's Full Honourable Mentions List for the Year's Best Horror 2010.
Ellen Datlow is a legend in the speculative fiction community. She's probably best known for co-editing the Year's Best Fantasy and Horror anthology series, and now the Year's Best Horror anthologies.
So this is a huge honour, and completely unexpected. My stories mentioned are:
Witteveen, David “Perfect Skin,” Cthulhu’s Dark Cults.
Witteveen, David and Conyers, David “Sweet as Decay,” Macabre.
Lots of other Australian authors on that list, too, thanks mostly to the Macabre anthology that Angela Slatter and Dr Marty Young put together.
The list was published back in March. Work was so stressful at the time I didn't even notice. I really should pay more attention.
