I just read that my story “Relaxed Best” received an honourable mention in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror 2008.
Also, Ellen Datlow had the following to say about Not One of Us (the mag that published “Relaxed Best”) in her Summation 2007: Horror:
Not One of Us, edited by John Benson, has been around for a very long time now, and continues to publish unusual, often dark, fiction. There were two issues out in 2007 and an excellent special one-off called Midrash. The strongest stories and poems were by Chris Bell, Amanda Downum, Sonya Taaffe, Torger Vedeler, and Ian Rogers.
The honourable mention was sweet (my first one!), and that was even sweeter. Congrats to John and the rest of the contributors.
Maybe next year I’ll be part of the actual collection. I’ll have stories plenty of stories in consideration, so anything’s possible.
Congratulations! I’m hoping I have a few in the next volume as well; I guess I’ll know in a few weeks or so.
Fingers crossed!
Go to Amazon and select the “Search Inside” feature of the book. You can look it up right away.
Congrats! That’s fantastic. :D
Thanks, Tiff!
Huh! Look at that. Amazon’s finally good for something.
Again: congrats!
And same to you!
CONGRATULATIONS! That’s amazing.
Thanks, Cate!
