Latest Winners / Recipients

Year: 2020

winner y separately published work icon Black Cranes : Tales of Unquiet Women Lee Murray (editor), Geneve Flynn (editor), United States of America (USA) : Omnium Gatherum , 2020 21017664 2020 anthology short story

"Almond-eyed celestial, the filial daughter, the perfect wife. Quiet, submissive, demure. In Black Cranes, Southeast Asian writers of horror both embrace and reject these traditional roles in a unique collection of stories which dissect their experiences of 'otherness, ' be it in the colour of their skin, the angle of their cheekbones, the things they dare to write, or the places they have made for themselves in the world. Black Cranes is a dark and intimate exploration of what it is to be a perpetual outsider."--Publisher's description.

Year: 2014

winner y separately published work icon Fearful Symmetries Ellen Datlow (editor), Toronto : ChiZine Publications , 2014 8366102 2014 anthology short story

'Wander through visions of the most terrible of angels, the Seven who would undo the world. Venture through Hell and back, and lands more terrestrial and darker still. Linger a while in childhoods, and seasons of change by turns tragic and monstrously transformative. Lose yourself amongst the haunted and those who can’t let go, in relationships that might have been and never were. Witness in dreams and reflections, hungers and horrors, the shadows cast upon the wall, and linger in forests deep.

Come see what burns so bright ...'
