Just got this news from Stephen Jones in London:
"THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST NEW HORROR VOLUME TWELVE edited by Stephen Jones won the 2002 British Fantasy Award for Best Anthology, presented at the annual FantasyCon 2002 in London on September 21st.
Published by Robinson in the UK and Carroll & Graf in the USA, this is the third occasion that the annual BEST NEW HORROR series has won the award, voted for by members of The British Fantasy Society."
The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror Volume Twelve reprinted my short story, "In the Water Works (Birmingham, Alabama 1888)," so, on this morning of leaking roofs and falling sky, it made me smile to get the news (besides, Steve's a great editor and deserves the award).
