One of the pleasant surprises of World Fantasy was getting to meet Brett Savory and Sandra Kasturi, the people behind ChiZine. This Canadian small press has been consistently surprising me with the quality of their output, and I was delighted to see I’m not alone in my opinion. ChiZine won three categories in the British Fantasy Awards. Most notably they won Best Small Press, and books that they published won Best Collection and Best Newcomer.

ChiZine are most noted for their horror output, and their two winning titles — Remember Why You Fear Me by Rob Shearman and Hair Side, Flesh Side by Helen Marshall — are both superb examples of that genre.

While I’m promoting the company, however, I’d like to point you at a couple of their other titles: Gemma Files Hexslinger Trilogy (I reviewed part one here), and Napier’s Bones by Derryl Murphy, which so impressed Ms. Lord and Ms. Burnham.
