Cthulhu Unbound 3 Australian Shadows Finalist

I am pleased to announce that Brian M Sammons and I have made the finalist list for Australia's top horror fiction award, the Australian Shadows in the Edited Publication category. This is the fourth time I've been nominated for the award, and maybe this year I might win, but I'm up against some strong competition with Surviving to the End by Craig Bezant and The Year's Best Australian Fantasy & Horror 2011 by LizGrzyb and Talie Helene, so I don't think it is likely.

On related news, Cthulhu Unound 3 is now available in paperback from Amazon. If you are looking for a reason to buy this book, here is a recent review from Hellnotes:

"All in all, I highly recommend CTHULHU UNBOUND 3: it’s a great collection of recent novellas that blend traditional Lovecraftian themes with other genres."
