The final list of nominees for the Short Fiction category reflects an amendment from that originally issued. After the preliminary ballot was completed and the initial list of nominees issued by press release, one work (“X is for Xyx” by John Palisano) was found to be ineligible and was replaced by the work which received the next highest number of votes in the relevant preliminary ballot (“Hypergraphia” by Ken Lillie-Paetz). The list below reflects the final nominees in that category.
“Her Husband’s Hands” by Adam-Troy Castro (Lightspeed Magazine, October 2011)
“Herman Wouk Is Still Alive” by Stephen King (The Atlantic Magazine, May 2011)
“Hypergraphia” by Ken Lillie-Paetz (The Uninvited, Issue 1)
“Graffiti Sonata” by Gene O’Neill (Dark Discoveries #18)
“Home” by George Saunders (The New Yorker Magazine, June 13, 2011)
