Yes, I am judging horror again, and convening the panel this year to boot. I am really honoured to be able to judge again and to be asked to convene. I love judging the awards – it’s a lot of work, but I get to read a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t otherwise have come across. Getting the books is always a nice bonus, even if I do usually end up with two copies of things because I’ve already bought them! But that just means that I get to pass on awesome books to someone else 🙂
