Congratulations to Julia Armfield for her The Kitschies win! Her 'deeply romantic and fabulously strange' (Sarah Waters) novel is out in paperback now 🐙
Huge congratulations Bisha K. Ali. The Partition episode was incredible. Also loved how there were characters I could relate to.
Well, look at that! Klara Smith has won the inky tentacle!!!! So proud! I love that cover! Inpress Books 📚
And finally the Red Tentacle goes to The Last Blade Priest by Will Wiles!
Monumental and challenging - a conversation with its fantasy predecessors that both admires and subverts the conventions of the genre.
#TheKitschies
The winner of the Golden Tentacle is… Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield. A poignant, Weird horror about lost love. It was described by the judges as ‘equal parts haunting, loving, and horrifying’.
#TheKitschies
The Inky Tentacle for best cover art goes to Klara Smith for the humanity and craft of her cover for Paper Crusade by Michelle Penn.
