A Monster Calls has been shortlisted for an extremely cool award called the Red Tentacle, for "intelligent, progressive and entertaining" genre fiction.  Previous winners have been China Mieville and Lauren Beukes, so the company is excellent.  Even better, Jim Kay's been nominated for an Inky Tentacle for his cover art.  Very, very pleased indeed.

In the meantime, I also want to say that everyone should see Matilda as soon as possible.  That is all.
