Honorably Mentioned

/
I found out yesterday that my story “Black Jack Davy,” which appeared in April’s Realms of Fantasy, received an honorable mention in The Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror 2008: The 21st Annual Collection, and that’s pretty exciting.

Better yet, Ellen Datlow mentions my story in her year’s summation:

Realms of Fantasy, edited by Shawna McCarthy, sometimes publishes dark fantasy and even horror. The best darker stories appearing during 2007 were by Christopher Barzak, Stephen Chambers, Noreen Doyle, Euan Harvey, Samantha Henderson, Trent Hergenrader, M.K. Hobson, Devon Monk, Richard Parks and Josh Roundtree.

Short of actually having the story reprinted in the collection itself, this is pretty much the next best thing.

    Good going, Trent. I always liked that story. Our Clarion class does, indeed, continue it’s relentless march forward.
