I’m so happy to report that Drive, She Said by Tracie McBride in issue #14 is on the HWA Bram Stoker Award™ 2012 Reading List. Not only that, it has been recommended for a Bram Stoker award.
A big congratulations to Tracie for the recommendation — it really is a great story. If you’d like to congratulate her, please comment below.
I’m happy for Lovecraft eZine, as well — to have one of our stories recommended for a Stoker Award is very rewarding.
NOTE: Nominations don’t come out until January, the story is “recommended”, not “nominated”. Still, the notice from HWA is welcome.
Tony hasn’t been a taxi driver for going on 14 years without developing a sixth sense about his fares. This one, he decides, is trouble with a capital T.

Wow, congrats! How exciting!
Lots of great stuff on the zine. This is the first, but it surely won’t be the last.
Absolutely smashing! Good luck to you — although with a story this good, I think you’ve made your own luck!
Fantastic news, congrats to Tracie McBride and Mike Davis for making great works that get noticed. Ia! Ia!
Major conga-rats to Tracie, and kudos for Mike’s continuing good taste.
Big congrats (also cong-mice, & cong-voles) to you, Tracie!
Awesome! I haven’t read through much of the ‘zines yet; been saving them for when I need something to read in between other stuff, but am currently using the Big Book of HP Lovecraft for that (it’s over 1000 pages!!! O.O) so it’ll probably be awhile; but I’ll pop over and read this particular story right now!!
Congratulations all round! Much deserved kudos to you, Tracie, for a hell of a story, and to you as well, Mike, for all the love the eZine keeps getting
Great news, and a great story by Tracie!
Congratulations, Tracie! I’m sure the nomination will come.
Congratulations, Tracie — great story, this recognition is well deserved.
Thanks, everyone! Thanks especially to Mike for all his hard work and support for his authors.
