Congrats to China Miéville!
I've spoken to China, who btw is an awesome guy, and he's happy to be interviewed by the panelists (i.e. me, Jared from Pornokitch, and Jamie from Mithril Wisdom). Look for that to come probably early March.

Kraken - I like the sound of that. The only one on the short list I had read was the Passage, which I enjoyed.
Is Kraken related to Wyndham's The Kraken Wakes?
Hi Becky - Kraken is pretty crazy and while I haven't read The Kraken Wakes I'm pretty sure Mieville's Kraken is completely different. It's about an underground London, cults, magic, guys with hands as their heads, and other really crazy stuff.
Recommended, but not what you think when you hear Kraken.
Passage was also pretty good. :)
Kraken is bonkers but also pretty damn awesome. Congrats to China for 1st place, and to Patrick for runner up (Monsters of Men was awesome too). Cheers Bryce, Jared and Gem being part of this too :D
