Hugo Nominations!

Hugo nominations are open again, and as usual, I've not done much reading of new books and novelettes and short stories in 2018 - so I don't have a lot in my head to nominate.

I have, however, done some listening to stories on Escapepod and its sister podcasts - and my favourite story of 2018, by far, still is "A Cure for Homesickness". It's just beyond brilliant, and if you like stories about humans and aliens at all, go have a look at it (you can also read it beyond that link if you prefer that to listening).

There's a whole list of stories from EP that are nominate-able, and I loved quite a few of them - plus there are more eligible stories on Podcastle, Cast of Wonders (including "Ava Paints the Horses", which I had the pleasure to narrate), and - if you are into horror and not such a wimp as I am - Pseudopod.

So. I will go and nominate - and if you are, like me, one of those who can hand in a Hugo nomination, please do so. It doesn't matter if you have not read everything, and it's not necessary to fill in every slot or every category (most of them, on my ballot, will stay empty) - but it is a wonderful way to draw attention to something you really loved in 2018, and who knows, your nomination might be the difference for something ending up on the shortlist and something remaining unknown.
