EP198a: Eugie Award Re-Post of Urchins, While Swimming - a podcast by Escape Artists, Inc

Escape Artists would like to draw your attention to a fantastic event happening next week at DragonCon, the Eugie Foster Memorial Award for Short Fiction.

This annual award will be presented for the first time in 2016—for works published in 2015.

The Eugie Award honors stories that are irreplaceable, that inspire, enlighten, and entertain. It will shine the spotlight on stories that are beautiful, thoughtful, and passionate. That change us and the field. The recipient will be a story that is unique and will become essential to speculative fiction readers.

The finalists for this year’s award are:



* “The Deepwater Bride” by Tamsin Muir

* “Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers” by Alyssa Wong

* “The Long Goodnight of Violet Wild” by Catherynne M. Valente

* “Pocosin” by Ursula Vernon

* “Three Cups of Grief, by Starlight” by Aliette De Bodard



To highlight the work of these authors we are re-running three stories on Escape Pod, PodCastle, and Pseudopod:

Escape Pod 408: Immersion by Aliette De Bodard

Podcastle 198: Urchins, While Swimming by Catherynne M. Valente

Pseudopod 492: The Fisher Queen by Alyssa Wong

Also, be sure to check out Ursula Vernon’s story “Jackalope Wives” available to read for free at Mothership Zeta. And mark November on your calendar for an upcoming story by Tamsin Muir.
