Multiple-time BCS author Ian McHugh’s story “Cold, Cold War,” from BCS #123, is a finalist for the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Short Fiction.

Congratulations! The Aurealis Awards recognise the best Australian science fiction, fantasy, and horror of the year. Past winners in the Best Fantasy Short Fiction category include Christopher Green’s story “Father’s Kill” from BCS #24 and podcast BCS 022, which won in 2009, in a tie with coincidentally another story by Ian McHugh!
