Spear is a World Fantasy Award finalist

SPEAR has just been nominated for a World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and it's in great company—a cracking list! And unlike my last nomination for the award, for HILD, SPEAR really *is* a fantasy 😊

Spear has just been nominated for a World Fantasy Award—alongside many books you’ll find familiar if you’ve been keeping track of the Little Book That Could’s nominations so far.1 It’s a cracking shortlist. And I’m very pleased to be nominated. I’ve been nominated for the Best Novel Award before, for Hild—which delighted me, and freed me from pressure because I knew, given Hild isn’t a fantasy,…

"Ma la ristrettezza di vedute, la rigidità di chi è privo di immaginazione ha una natura simile a quella dei parassiti. Si trasferiscono da un organismo all’altro, mutano di forma e continuano a vivere e a proliferare."

Saint Death’s Daughter got a novel nomination - as if I need another reason to read it.

The short story finalists seems very horror focused this year.

Overall nothing too surprising but it seems like a solid shortlist.

Reading Prize Winning Books: Part 1

Reading Prize Winning Books: Part 1

One of my personal reading challenges for 2022 has been to read some books that have won different awards through the years. I chose twelve, rather randomly (but mostly based on books I already own). The prizes include Pulitzers, a couple of Hugos, and a Booker. At almost the halfway point of the year, I have read six. In this post, I will list the first three I read and give a brief synopsis and…

The First World Fantasy Awards convention was held in Providence, RI in October 1975. The rewards themselves were statuettes depicting a bust of H. P. Lovecraft by noted artist, Gahan Wilson. It occurred to me that if Sonia Greene Lovecraft Davis had lived only a few years longer- she died at age 89 - she might have been invited to the awards ceremonies to receive one of the statues for 'lifetime achievement'. Certainly her early support of the amateur fiction community and her own fiction writing efforts would have qualified for such an honor. However, the ex-Mrs Lovecraft had reasons to be bitter over her association with late husband. During the brief couple of years the pair were actually together Lovecraft was little more than a Trophy Husband. HPL contributed very little to the the family expenses and supposedly was a very cold and unenthusiastic lover. Even more egregious he had lied to Sonia about finalizing the pair's divorce papers. If Sonia had still been alive, overcome her bitterness and been healthy enough to attend the festivities I can only wonder what she might have been thinking as she held the statue of her Trophy Husband in her hands, perhaps: "What contest in hell did I win?" (With apologies to EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, and all Lovecraft fankids the world over). (Exhibit 441)

whew, people get heated over their fav booktok book.

#memorie.txt #once you’ve read more you’re more willing to admit that you love a kinda poorly written book #by god i love jackaby. the writing style is a solid 3/5 and the plot stuff is cheesy as hell. #you get a better frame of reference for ‘this book requires an award’ style of good #and a ‘god this is so my dumb little niche that scratches all those weird little itches nobody else has’ style of good #one of my fav series is the ghost and the goth!! is it good?? i don’t know if i’d go that far!! #is it fun and does it make me think of trysi / chryzure stuff??? yes :) #i’m beginning to wonder abt ppl rabid abt their fav books. anyway this one person was losing their shit over ppl liking apollo #and aurora and i’m an aurora shooter but i digress #they were foaming at the mouth and im like Well. its a little not that serious . #he is letters on a page. and also mostly irrelevant to the story as a whole so im kinda confused as to why ppl feel so strongly abt him #it’s funny because most of my complaints stem from an outside pov #where i critique the worldbuilding / plot work / character writing and its inconsistencies #whereas ppl assume im encouraging villainy irl. it is quite seriously more that the villainy is unmotivated #or otherwise poorly done. i love to hate a good villain if the proper legwork is put into it #because i like observing how others work their craft!!! #but my irritation with stephanie is that she doesn’t work her craft well. it’s shoddy craftsmanship full of retcons or #convenience required for plot that otherwise hold no reasoning in the story #and i can admit that i find the series unsatisfying because it’s marketed as a romance (the romance had little chemistry that could be #understood by anyone that’s not straight. straight romances are always laziest because it’s the ‘norm’ so that equates to chem) #and also it was marketed as having plot when rlly the ‘plot’ was trying to put these characters in weird chemistry-less situations together #so yeah i’ll complain abt the villains being jealous shallow archetypes when it could’ve had depth. #i’ll complain abt a lot. but in the end it’s a silly basic ya romance series that isn’t anything unique #most unique stories will not be found on booktok. i’m sorry #i can show you the beautiful world of horror novels though! #or weird lil 80s fantasy novels that are actually quite long that my dad likes showing me #truly no romance novel will be better than the darkangel trilogy though.. that is what stephanie wanted to write. #but that’s lightning in a bottle ithink. #okay anyway. good night. i worked a long day and i have appts in the morning
