Last year I published an essay in Aurealis #119 titled ‘Suffer the Little Children: An analysis of parental horror in Stephen King’s early fiction’. Grandiose title or not, it has been shortlisted in the non-fiction category for the 2019 Australian Shadows Awards. All winners will be announced on the Australasian Horror Writers Association Facebook page on June 6, at 7pm.
I’m up against some stiff competition in the category, not least the formidable Eugen Bacon, who has taken the Australian speculative fiction world by storm over the past three years.
