Here’s the new cover for MAYAN DECEMBER by BRENDA COOPER. Click on the image to see a larger version or on the title for more on the book.

Library Journal: Guran has selected twenty-five vampire stories of the “new millennium” that reflect a diversity of themes. Holly Black’s “The Coldest Girl in Cold Town” provides a bleak look at what it means to trade your humanity for immortality and eternal thirst. On the other hand, Tanya Huff’s heroine, Vicki Nelson, in “No Matter Where You Go” unselfishly follows three desperate teens into a hellish alternate universe. Tanith Lee uses her wonderfully bizarre imagination for an unusual take on the vampire theme in “La Vampiresse.” Nisi Shawl’s “To the Moment” combines the themes of love and the predatory nature of the vampire, while John Langan chills the reader with a horrifying tale of a creature haunting four American soldiers in “The Wide, Carnivorous Sky.” Other noted fantasy authors, including Carrie Vaughn, Jeanne C. Stein, Kelley Armstrong, Nancy Kilpatrick, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, are well represented here. VERDICT: This splendid collection will appeal to readers of the vampire genre as well as fantasy in general.

Congratulations to all Hugo and Campbell nominees! And especially to:

Best Short Story
“Amaryllis” by Carrie Vaughn, Lightspeed
“The Things” by Peter Watts, Clarkesworld

Best Professional Editor: Short Form
John Joseph Adams

Best Semiprozine
Clarkesworld, edited by Neil Clarke, Cheryl Morgan, Sean Wallace; podcast directed by Kate Baker
Lightspeed, edited by John Joseph Adams

Commentary:
This is the first time that Kate Baker has been acknowledged, and I’m hoping this year that voters will reward her hard work with a Hugo. She is truly the voice of Clarkesworld, today.

It’s also interesting to see three online stories dominating the short story category. Maybe it will continue, as it was only last year that more than one story landed on the ballot.

Women rocked the best professional editor, long form; novel; ss categories. Are we finally seeing a shift here?

Wow, out of the five nominees in semiprozine, four are actually fictionmags!

I also note five nominations for Asimov’s! Maybe this will be the year that Sheila Williams will take home a Hugo Award. Geez, isn’t it time already?
