http://ellen-datlow.livejournal.com/ Congrats again to Simon B for The Narrows, to Steve Duffy and all. Black Static did well to get two of its writers in - Hergenrader and Kaysen. |

Congrats to everyone, especially RCMBers Laird and Simon B. And that Steve Duffy bloke. Someone should invite him over. |

That's a pretty sweet lineup (and one spectacular cover). I'm pretty jealous :-( |

I'm chuffed to fucking bits that Simon B made it in there with "The Narrows". A stunning tale. |

Yeah, I dig that cover too - good on Night Shade for giving the series a home. Quality TOC as well. Quite a few of my favourites from last year (Kaysen, Barron, Royle, Lanagan ...) made the cut, but there's still plenty there I haven't read. |

I've met Cpt. Awesome. The tights are not recommended. We Simons are going for world domination - we're hoping to change the planet's name from boring old 'urth' to 'SimonWorld' any day now... S |

Thanks, all. I came across Simon Bestwick's story a few weeks ago. "The Narrows is one of my favorites, and is likely among the best in the anthology. |
