A Monster Calls wins Red Tentacle!

Now, this is awesome:  A Monster Calls has won the Red Tentacle Kitschie.  What's brilliant is that this is an adult book award with an incredible pedigree (last two winners were Lauren Beukes and China Mieville).  Seriously, check out all their lists here.  Really great stuff, I'm chuffed to bits.

AGONISINGLY, though, because of that freight train derailment outside Euston, I couldn't bloody go!  I had to sit at home, sick with disappointment, watching everyone tweet about how great the awards party was.  Grumble, grumble. Still, though, check 'em out.

Also, A Monster Calls has just been released in Japan and was featured in Friday's Weekly Book Review.  I hope some of you were able to catch it.

Greetings to the new commenters.  I write this snowbound...
