The shortlist for this year’s British Fantasy Awards has been announced and we’re delighted to see our authors Caimh McDonnell and Shauna Lawless included among the nominees.
Caimh is up for the ‘Best Audio’ award for this work narrating the first entry in his Stranger Times series, while Shauna has been nominated for Sydney J. Bounds Award for Best Newcomer for her debut novel, The Children of Gods and Fighting Men.
The British Fantasy Society was founded in 1971 and has dedicated itself to promoting the best writing in the fantasy, science fiction and horror genres. The Society’s accolades are the longest running fantasy awards in the UK; previous winners include Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Iain Banks, Diana Wynne Jones and Neil Gaiman.
This year’s recipients will be decided by a special panel of readers appointed by the BFS, with a ceremony held in September at Fantasycon to announce the winners.
