I was flabbergasted, and incredibly honored, to see ONLY MONSTERS REMAIN listed among some truly fantastic titles in Ellen Datlow’s THE BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR, VOLUME 16, published in November 2024. Ms. Datlow has been a proponent of the horror genre for decades, and I’m grateful for the recognition. It’s easy to get discouraged in this business, so every ort of encouragement goes a long way.
