For those of you who don't think mixing your genres is a good thing, consider this. John Horner Jacobs, art director of Needle magazine, has made the short list for the Bram Stoker award for best first novel. "Southern Gods" is a mix of horror and crime. Congratulations, John!!!

Oh fuck, that's huge. I'm very happy for him, for it is a tremendous novel. First time horror in print has actually scared me since I've read Lovecraft
Huge, indeed, Ben!
Congratulations John!! Yes, Horror and Crime go together like champagne and peaches!
Well deserved!
Yes, they do, Katherine. Even if you're not using basic horror tropes, crime fiction, especially noir, is a good fit with the horror market.
I agree, David!
Congrats to John! It's a terrific book.
Hey, I just saw this months later. Thank you for the well wishes! I didn't win but had a great time!
Ah, but just to be nominated is a wonderous thing, John!
