And this year’s crop of short stories did not disapoint. After all, I want the Hugo Awards to show me what else the genre has to offer, not just the authors I would read anyway. As I have liked previous work from the known-to-me authors, I was super excited to dive in but I’m also glad that there were new writers to discover. You can find my tentative ballots and thoughts on the other finalists here:Īs expected, I had read zero of the finalist stories before they were announced but I have read stories and/or novels from four of the nominated authors. So I leave that to other people and then simply bask in their choices when the finalists are announced. Occasionally, I’ll read one that I stumble across online, but there’s just too much out there for me to know what to nominate. The only time I read short stories is when I pick up a collection or anthology (which is rare enough).
