Through A Glass, Darkly Makes Two More ‘Best of ’08′ Lists!

February 3rd, 2009

In December I reported that Through A Glass, Darkly had made it to the no. 2 spot in Speculative Fiction Junkie’s Top 5 Reads of 2008. Now I’m equally as delighted to tell you that the book has also appeared in Fantasy Book Critic’s ’best of’ list for ’08. It’s a real honour to be sitting alongside books and authors I have admired this year, including Toby Barlow’s  brilliant verse horror Sharp Teeth and Scott Sigler’s Infected. The really breathtaking piece of news from this feature is the line, ‘Through A Glass, Darkly was easily the best horror novel I read in 2008.’ Considering the company TAGD was keeping, this is truly humbling.

Another great review blog featuring ‘a best’ of ’08 book list is Dark Wolf. Again, I am very proud that TAGD has made it to no. 2 on Dark Wolf’s list. Interestingly, as in Speculative Fiction Junkie’s top 5, this list includes the wonderful The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Needless to say, I’m overwhelmed to be mentioned alongside two such great writers.
