Rogue Blades Entertainment’s entry in this year’s Preditors & Editors Readers’ Poll more than held its own on the individual story level. With 10 of the 21 stories in Rage of the Behemoth appearing in the final cut as of the close of voting last night, that’s pretty darn sweet in my view. All of those authors should be very happy, especially the three who so far appear in the Top 10.

Final placements won’t be revealed for a bit, but as of right now this is how things stand:

• Short Story Science Fiction/Fantasy
  • 1-T — Yaggoth-Voor, Bruce Durham
  • 6 — Poisonous Redemption, Kate Martin
  • 10-T — Where the Shadow Falls, TW Williams
  • 14-T — Thunder Canyon, Jeff Draper
  • 16-T — Vasily and the Beast Gods, Daniel R. Robichaud
  • 17-T — As from His Lair, the Wild Beast, Michael Ehart
  • 17-T — The Wolf of Winter, Bill Ward
  • 18-T — Portrait of a Behemoth, Richard K. Lyon & Andrew J. Offutt
  • 18-T — Runner of the Hidden Ways, Jason Thummel
  • 18-T — Beyond the Reach of His Gods, Brian Ruckley
• Anthology
  • 21-T — Rage of the Behemoth
• Artist
  • 20-T — Johnney Perkins
• Book Art
  • 19-T — Rage of the Behemoth, Didier Normand

A grand beginning to 2010 and much publishing success to us all!
