Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues has been nominated for a Black Quill Award at Dark Scribe magazine. Here's the link: http://www.darkscribemagazine.com/3rd-annual-bqa-nominees/ And here's the listing: BEST DARK GENRE BOOK OF NON-FICTION: (Any dark genre non-fiction subject, any publisher; awarded to the author[s] or editor[s]) * Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues edited by Loren Rhodes (Scribner) * Stephen King: The Non-Fiction by Rocky Wood and Justin Brooks (Cemetery Dance Publications) * The Stephen King Illustrated Companion by Bev Vincent (Fall River Press) * Writer's Workshop of Horror edited by Michael Knost (Woodland Press) Leaving aside the fact that my name is misspelled, I'm very honored to be named alongside those editors. In the world of nonfiction horror, those are the big boys. If you're inspired to vote, you must register as a reader of Dark Scribe. Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues was also recommended for the Bram Stoker Award in Nonfiction, but it's ineligible, since the book is all reprinted material, except for my introduction. Still, it's immensely flattering to be recognized.
