Ray Banks's 10 Stories That Oughta Be Nominated

In response to Awards Buzz Season (Oscars, Grammys, and Bears, oh my!), Ray Banks has listed ten stories he believes should be nominated somewhere, in no particular order:

1 - "Little Holes" by Mike MacLean in Thrilling Detective
2 - "Might Just Take Your Life" by Jim Winter in Hardluck Stories.
3 - "Get Miles Away" by Dave White in Thrilling Detective.
4 - "Dealing With Flaws" by Allan Guthrie in Bullet Magazine.
5 - "Dog Breath" by Gary Carson in Hardluck Stories
6 - "Worth" by Sean Doolittle in Plots With Guns.
7 - "The Babysitter's Code" by Laura Lippman in Plots With Guns.
8 - "Seguidilla" by Sarah Weinman in Plots With Guns.
9 - "Munchies" by Jack Bludis in HARDBROILED (reprint in Thrilling Detective).
10 - "For Old Times' Sake" by Gerald So in Handheld Crime.

As Thrilling Detective's Fiction Editor, I've chosen or worked on three of these. You may recognize several names from my blogging circle. So Ray may be a bit biased. I'm proud to make his list of favorites, and to have good company.
