Ack-Ack Macaque Tops Interzone Readers Poll
Filed under General • 08-05-2008 •
I’m delighted to see the readers of Interzone have voted “Ack-Ack Macaque” as their favourite short story of 2007.
I’m very pleased and surprised with this accolade for three reasons: 1) because my story was up against some very strong writing from some excellent authors, 2) because Interzone’s always been the standard against which I’ve measured my success, and 3) because this poll was voted for by the readers of the magazine, and shows there’s an audience out there for the kind of stuff I’m writing.
This is the second year running I’ve had a story placed highly in this poll, and I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me.
