Happy to see some love for The Outside. I thought the author’s worldbuilding was fascinating.
Local kids do well: both Matthew Hughes and Sarah Tolmie lived/live in Kitchener-Waterloo, and Sarah works in the same building I do.
That’s a really nice ballot there.
–I deeply need to read the Palwick collection.
The PKD award doesn’t normally match with my tastes but this time I’ve read three of the book and liked two of them!
