psocopteraI suppose I will not be attending this ceremony in person this year because I will not be at Readercon because there will not be Readercon. However I still feel like I am nominally following them. The list is here, and also under the cut.
NOVEL
The Book of X, Sarah Rose Etter (Two Dollar Radio)
Curious Toys, Elizabeth Hand (Little, Brown and Co)
Goodnight Stranger, Miciah Bay Gault (Park Row Books)
Ninth House, Leigh Bardugo (Gollancz-UK/Flatiron Books-US)
Nothing to See Here, Kevin Wilson (Ecco)
Tinfoil Butterfly, Rachel Eve Moulton (MCD x FSG Originals)
No Twisted Ones! That's interesting.
NOVELLA
Into Bones Like Oil, Kaaron Warren (Meerkat Press)
Late Returns, Joe Hill (Full Throttle)
The Monster of Elendhaven, Jennifer Giesbrecht (Tor.com)
Ormeshadow, Priya Sharma (Tor.com)
This is How You Lose the Time War, Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone (Gallery/Saga Press)
Time War is the one thing on this whole ballot that I've read, and I guess I'm predicting it will win, based on my new "it's going to sweep" theory. Also it's too bad we're not getting a Readercon because the winners are almost never *at* the Shirley Jackson awards but Gladstone and El-Mohtar very well could be; Gladstone is local so why wouldn't he, and El-Mohtar has certainly been at previous ones.
