And the slate of Lord Voxdimort:
BEST SHORT STORY
- "Goodnight Stars" by Annie Bellet, The Apocalypse Triptych
- "Totaled" by Kary English, Galaxy's Edge
- "On a Spiritual Plain" by Lou Antonelli, Sci Phi Journal #2
- “A Single Samurai” by Steve Diamond, Baen Big Book of Monsters
Both Rabid Puppies recommendations in the Short Story category can be read for free at the following links. I can attest that Sci Phi Journal #2 is quite good and I think the Big Book of Monsters looks particularly interesting.
- "Turncoat" by Steve Rzasa, Riding the Red Horse
- "The Parliament of Beasts and Birds" by John C. Wright, The Book of Feasts & Seasons
I've also got a short story you can read which is not part of either slate, but I promised to make it available for free reading, so here it is:
- "The Logfile" by Vox Day, The Altar of Hate
BEST NOVELETTE
“The Journeyman: In the Stone House”by Michael F. Flynn, Analog, June 2014
“Championship B’tok” by Edward M. Lerner, Analog, Sept 2014
“Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, Earth to Alluvium” by Gray Rinehart, Orson Scott Card’s InterGalactic Medicine Show
And the Rabid Puppies recommendation in the Novelette category:
"Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus" by John C. Wright, The Book of Feasts & Seasons
The Book of Feasts & Seasons is presently ranked #15,271 54,462 on Amazon and has a 4.9 rating on 18 16 reviews. It's genuinely that good, so I'd highly recommend reading it if you haven't yet, and posting a review if you have.
