Shirley Jackson Nomination!

Bound for Evil, which contains my short story "The Reading Room," was nominated for the 2008 Shirley Jackson Awards for best anthology. This is good news, both for me and for Tom English, who couldn't deserve it more.

The Shirley Jackson Awards are, in only their second year, my favorite of the various genre awards and the ones that most often honor the books that I love most. As evidence of that, the rest of the stuff on the 2008 ballot with which I am familiar is almost universally excellent, including a nomination for Daryl Gregory's amazing Pandemonium, which I've been talking up.

Congratulations to everyone who was nominated, and you can expect to see a lot of the titles from that ballot showing up on my "to read" list in the near future.
