The book has been shortlisted for an Aurealis Award in the Best Horror Novel category.
I’m… well, I’m a bit shocked, to be honest. It’s a real honour to appear on that list with so many other talented writers. I mean, LOOK AT IT.
2012 was a banner year for SF, fantasy and horror in Australia and I am thrilled to be considered a part of it.
Massive thanks to my publisher/editor Jan Scherpenhuizen and to cover artist Rhys James for making the whole package look so good.
