    “Whoah, wow, amazing. Such an honor. I mean, just to be considered for the This is Horror Award for the Novel is enough. So thankful to the readers, for hanging out with Jade. She needs friends. I mean, she’s got a lot of people in her life who wear masks and carry machetes. But she also just needs people to sit around a fire with, and not say anything. Until she does, of course. And she will. So be ready. Just floored about this, though. Thanks, everyone.”
