I’ve just received news that ‘The Show’ by Priya Sharma, which features in Box of Delights, the horror anthology I edited for Aeon Press, has been chosen by Ellen Datlow for her Best Horror of the Year: Volume 4. It’s due out in May of this year from Night Shade Books. In the meantime, of course, you can purchase a copy of Box of Delights here and read the story, along with a clutch of other excellent stories by the likes of Mike Resnick, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Steve Rasnic Tem, Don D’Ammassa and others. Congratulations, Priya!

About John Kenny
I have had fiction published in Emerald Eye, Transtories, the World SF Blog, First Contact, FTL, Woman's Way, Jupiter Magazine and elsewhere. I'm currently looking for a publisher for my novel Down and Out with Joey.
I have been co-editor of Albedo One since 1993 and co-administrator of its International Aeon Award for Short Fiction since 2005. Previous to that I was editor of FTL (1990 - 1992). I am editor of Writing4all: The Best of 2009 and Box of Delights, a new original horror anthology, due out soon from Aeon Press Books. As a freelance editor, I have worked on both novels and short stories with recent work done for Bruce McAllister, Nuala Lyons, Taylor Grant and others.

Absolutely FANTASTIC news, John! That’s really great to hear–and well-deserved for all involved.
Congratulations!
Posted by TG | January 9, 2012, 5:22 pmThanks, Taylor. Let’s hope we start getting a few reviews in and sell more copies of the book.
Posted by John Kenny | January 9, 2012, 5:36 pmI just posted the good news (and a link to the book) in at least ten different writer/reader/horror groups on Facebook this morning.
Posted by TG | January 9, 2012, 6:46 pmThat’s brilliant, Taylor. Many thanks for taking the time to spread the word. It’s very much appreciated. Is it still morning over there in sunny California? It’s raining here as per usual.
Posted by John Kenny | January 9, 2012, 7:19 pmGood news John.
Posted by Susan J Caldwell | January 9, 2012, 5:32 pmThanks, Susan. Every bit of publicity helps.
Posted by John Kenny | January 9, 2012, 5:37 pmFunny you should ask, as one of our Dublin employees made his first visit to our Hollywood office today. He said, “We get this kind of weather about five days a year.”
It’s currently 76 degrees.
Don’t hate me.
Posted by TG | January 9, 2012, 8:30 pmAargh!
