Lee Battersby Wins 2008 Australian Shadows Award
Lee Battersby just won the 2008 Australian Shadows Award, the Australian equivalent of the Stoker Award. The best part is, his winning story, "The Claws of Native Ghosts," was contained in an anthology called "The Beast Within," put out by a small press venue, Graveside Tales. (Graveside published one of my stories in its first anthology, Fried! Fast Food, Slow Deaths.)
Let's hear it for Lee Battersby and Graveside Tales!! It's great to know people pay attention to what appears in the small press. You can read an excerpt from Lee's excellent story here.
