ELDRITCH EVOLUTIONS on Bram Stoker Ballot

I almost forgot to post this item!
ELDRITCH EVOLUTIONS: 26 Weird Science Fiction, Dark Fantasy, and Horror Stories somehow made it onto the HWA Preliminary Bram Stoker Award Ballot for Best Collection of 2011.

Thank you to everyone who recommended it. This particular book means a lot to me.

Here are some of the reviews:

"An extravagant gift...devastating genius...and oh, that story, Debutante Ball - in a perfect literary landscape it would now be as well-remembered as Shirley Jackson's The Lottery."
--Adam-Troy Castro, SCI FI, official magazine of the SYFY TV channel

"Riveting stories with mind-bending ideas intensely creative!"
--Catherine Asaro, Nebula-Award winning author of The Ruby Dice

"Lois Gresh is a terrific writer and this collection is a terrific book for anyone who wants to read the best in science fiction, dark fantasy, dark humor, and horror."
--Robert Weinberg, Winner of Lifetime Achievement Award, HWA
"Everything you want in horror fiction."
--Scott Edelman, Five-time Nominee for the Bram Stoker Award, Editor of Syfy's Blastr

"Lois Gresh makes me scared of things I've never been scared of before. In person, Lois seems so nice and ordinary...but in her writing, she's *evil*."
--James Alan Gardner, Winner of the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial award

"Intensely memorable stories...shocking, funny, disturbing. A uniquely gifted writer whose work I have admired for many years."
--Charles Platt, former editor at Avon books & senior writer at Wired

"If you're hoping for surprisingly quirky takes on reality combined with cleverly worded fiction, you're in the right place. One of the cleverest writers out there."
--Nancy Kilpatrick, editor of Evolve: Vampire Stories of the New Undead
