Awards must be in the air for quality horror fiction. Winners of the Lambda Literary Awards were announced in early June. The German, by Lee Thomas, another Stoker nominee this year (in the category for superior acheivement in a novel) won the award for LGBT SF/F/Horror (wow, that’s a lot of acronyms!).The Lambda Literary Awards are given by the Lambda Literary Foundation for literary merit and relevance to LGBT lives, to paraphrase the submission guidelines.

I think that’s very cool. We don’t see much LGBT fiction come our way. It is wonderful to see the horror genre spotlighted here!

Congratulations, Lee!
