I learned last night that four Shimmer stories got the coveted Honorable Mention in Ellen Datlow’s Best Horror of the Year Volume 1! Woo!

The stories are:
The Hand of the Devil on a String, by M. K. Hobson, Issue 9
The Shape of her Sorrow, by Joy Marchand, Issue 9
Dresses,Three, by Angela Slatter, Issue 8
The Hummingbird Heart, by Angela Slatter, Issue 9

Congrats, authors! I’m thrilled to see these stories getting recognition.

We put Issues 8 and 9 on sale a little while ago when stories from those issues got nods for Best American Fantasy; the sale’s still on. Here’s your chance to get these issues for a very affordable cost.
