I’m pleased to share the news that my novel Monster made it on the preliminary ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel. I feel honored to be among so many excellent horror writers, including several fellow authors from Samhain Publishing: John Everson, JG Faherty, Brian Kirk, John Palisano, and Damien Angelica Walters. Of course, this is not the Final Bram Stoker Awards ballot, but i’m very happy to have made it this far. There is a tremendous amount of talent on this ballot. It is one giant what-to-read-in-horror list. If horror is your thing—check it out: http://horror.org/9296-2.
