Shirley Jackson Final Ballot Announced
Everybody!
Great news. After much reading, and piles of books so high I feared I would be toppled, the SJA Final has been established. It's a stellar list of excellent fiction, and I'm proud to be associated with it. Go buy what you haven't read. Not a clunker in the pack.
