Congratulations to all the winners at the British Fantasy Awards. Particularly the excellent Ben Baldwin, Priya Sharma, Nisi Shawl and Laura Mauro.

And a massive congratulations to Helen Marshall who won the most nominations for a single work in multiple categories and therefore (in our house) wins absolutely everything, including a nice cup of a tea and a hot cross bun. Or something. I'll see what's in the fridge.

Our latest anthology is #crowdfunding now on Kickstarter! #OutOfTheDarkness is 15 brand new stories raising awareness of #mentalhealth within the #horror community. Including strictly limited exclusive hardback edition! kickstarter.com/projects/unsun…
