“‘The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.’ I don’t know if I would quite go that far, but I am still pleased to be able to recommend this collection of Passage Prize entrants who, for whatever reason, didn’t quite make my list. As I wrote elsewhere, I wish that I could have selected all of them to be winners, and I felt a pain in rejecting each one, so I hope you will be able to enjoy each of these works, with their flaws but also their triumphs. From these stories, I learned a great deal about the thoughts and feelings of the many aspiring writers in our sphere, and I am grateful now that you will have that opportunity also.” — Zero HP Lovecraft, author of God-Shaped Hole and Don’t Make Me Think
