My favorite modern weird book on the planet, Demon: A Memoir, just got nominated for a major award.
Okay, not that major award. A different one. One that, should an author win it, comes with a thingy that goes on the bookcovers of re-issues, a lot more attention in bookstores and, if I'm not mistaken, a compass in the stock.
Wait, that's Christmas Story again.
But, hey, this really is a Christmas story, because sometimes the good guys win at the end, sometimes no one sees you in the bunny costume, sometimes you do get the Red Ryder bb gun and sometimes, just sometimes, the publishing industry realizes it has something really great on its hands.
Congratulations to all the Christy nominees, including Tosca Lee, but special congratulations to the nominating committee for recognizing what a literary triumph Demon really is.
Soli Deo gloria.

Demon is one of the books on my "must read soon" list. One other book on the list of Christy nominees that I have read and really liked was The Restorer's Son. It wasn't what I expected at all. The scriptural stuff was evident and integral to the story, but it was what I think of as more high fantasy.
