I just found out that the preliminary Stoker Ballot lists Gratia Placenti, edited by Jason Sizemore & Gill Ainsworth (Apex Publications). I’ve got a story in there so I’m tremendously pleased to see the anthology make the list.

When I was in college, we were shown this very early example of animation. Made in 1918, Winsor McCay wanted to show the horror of Lusitania’s sinking. I was talking with a friend about it and she’d never seen it so I hit the wonders of YouTube. Behold! I hadn’t seen this newsreel with making-of footage that goes with it.
