I’m delighted to hear that The Cold House has won the Paul Haines Award for Long Fiction ( so basically Best Horror Novella).

Congrats to all the finalists and winners, and a huge thanks to the organisers and judges for all their hard work. The full list of winners and finalists is here.

Thanks to my editor Cath Trechman and Titan Books for taking a chance on my weird little folk horror novella.
