Kao
što sam već ovde svojevremeno objavio, imao sam čast ove godine da budem
nominovan za Rondo Haton nagradu! Detalji o toj nominaciji su OVDE.
Povod za to je bio moj veliki temat koji čine tri povezana članka, jedan veliki
i dva manja, o Lavkraftovoj večnoj i ovih dana sve većoj popularnosti. Detalji
o tom tematu su OVDE.
Juče
su obznanjeni rezultati i – ukratko, ne, nisam dobio nagradu, ali jesam istaknut
u „Honorable mentions”. Imajući u vidu da je tu bila najbrojnija selekcija, i
imajući u vidu kakva su imena tu bila u konkurenciji, mora se priznati da je i
ovo sasvim solidan uspeh. Horor fanovi su izglasali sledeće u toj kategoriji
gde sam bio nominovan:
BEST ARTICLES
1) ‘Christopher Lee: He May Not Have Been Who You Might Have Thought He Was,’ by Tom Johnson,
LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS #35.
2) ‘Remembering Christopher Lee,’ by Justin Hamelin, RAVENOUS website.
Runner-up: ‘Vincent Price: I Like What I see,’ by Tim Lucas, VIDEO WATCHDOG #179.

Ono
što takođe vredi istaći jeste da je magazin za koji imam čast da pišem već šest godina unazad - Rue
Morgue – i ove godine proglašen za NAJBOLJI horor magazin na engleskom
jeziku, i to šestu godinu za redom!
Slučajnost? Ne bih rekao!
I ne
samo to, nego je još nekoliko autora iz ovog magazina bilo nominovano i visoko
dospelo. Evo šta su ovi moji iz Rue
Morgue o tome rekli u svojoj vesti:
Rue Morgue would like to
extend a huge, heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped us win our seventh
consecutive statue for Best Magazine in the RONDO HATTON CLASSIC
HORROR AWARDS! We were also named first runner-up for Best Cover (Rue
Morgue #161 by Jason Edmiston) and Writer of the Year (April Snellings), and we

Thank you to David Colton
for all the work he puts in every year to organize the Rondo Awards, and thank
you to everyone who supported horror journalism by voting in the magazine

horror genre is all the better for it.

In other news, dao sam
intervju za najnoviji, aprilski broj magazina BIZNIS I FINANSIJE. U
tekstu o domaćim žanrovcima društvo mi pravi Uroš Petrović. Evo prve od tri
strane:
Koga zanimaju horori
biznisa i finansija, neka kupi ovaj broj. Ostali, strpite se malo – ovaj članak
će biti uskoro obznanjen i ovde na blogu; najkasnije u maju, čim izađe novo
izdanje magazina.

Javljaju mi da u izlogu 'Delfija' u Novom Sadu dva
crna psa čuvaju ZAVODNIKA od najezde kupaca. Evo i foto-dokaza:

VEŠTICA je napokon dolijala!
Procurio je dobar rip
kineskog dvd-a.
Da, ima kineske titlove u
dnu, pa šta? Slika i zvuk su sasvim dobri. Overio sam ga, nije me mnogo razočarao mada sam očekivao malo više (3+), moj rivju
stiže već sutra!
PS: Imajte na umu da je
film na starinskom engleskom iz 17. veka pa će mnogima biti zajebano gledati ga
bez titlova... Dakle, ne žurite ako niste fluentni u starinsko-engleskom.
Sačekajte titl, inače nećete ni polovinu pohvatati...
