When HAVEN won the Stoker for best debut novel I didn't know what to believe in. I questioned the entire genre. I wandered for months in the dessert that was all that remained of my soul. I ate nothing but regret and drank nothing but confusion. I dreamt of penguins. That part really didn't fit in with everything else, but it's worth noting. It was at least more interesting than HAVEN, at least. Dreams of Penguins--always capital P, don't ask me why--who were engaged in offshore betting operations.
I need to read Tremblay! When is CD's HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS going to be published???

The same here. I've only actually read two nominated pieces, though I do have a few others on my TBR pile, and am considering a few others on the list for future consideration.
TE Grau - I am the River - I liked this a lot, though I am surprised it is ranked in the first novel category; as I remember it is more a novella length piece, but never the less it was an entertaining story.
Good to see Joe Hill's story 'You are Released' nominated. I thought it was the best story in Flight or Fright and definitely worthy of award nominations.
I am surprised that The Outsider by Stephen King did not get nominated in the novel category. It seems that over the years any novel by King gets a nomination, and I thought The Outsider was his best novel in several years.
