I had earlier received the following news from WOTF XXII winner David Sakmyster:
"I just wanted to let you know that Ellen Datlow sent me an email letting me know that she read Vol. XXII on the plane back from LA CON and gave 'The Red Envelope' an 'Honorable Mention' for her 'Year's Best Horror & Fantasy Anthology'. So I'm psyched about that, and just wanted to let you know.
Thanks!
Dave
And now, we received word from Scott Roberts (WOTF XXI):
"Ken Scholes' story, 'Into the Blank Where Life is Hurled' (WOTF 21) and my own, 'Blackberry Witch,' received Honorable Mentions in Ellen Datlow's 'Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.'
Good times.
Scott M. Roberts
Best,
