Fantasy awards have given us some incredible winners over the years.But what about the books that didn't win?In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, we're counting down the 30 greatest fantasy novels ever nominated for major fantasy awards that never actually took home the trophy. These are the bridesmaids of fantasy literature—the books that earned Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, or British Fantasy Award nominations, captured the hearts of readers, sold millions of copies, and became genre classics… yet somehow never heard their name called on awards night.From epic fantasy giants and beloved dragon adventures to urban fantasy masterpieces and modern classics, this list is packed with books that many readers would argue deserved a win.Which fantasy masterpiece was the biggest awards snub of them all?Let's find out.

In this episode of That Would Be Rad, we sink our teeth into one of the weirdest and most unsettling true stories we've ever covered: the Southend Werewolf.Picture this: a regular, easy-going guy from Essex named Bill Ramsey who spent almost forty years fighting something vicious that lived inside him. Out of nowhere he'd get hit with freezing cold chills, see a wolf staring back at him in the mirror, and then black out into these insane rages where he suddenly had crazy strength and acted like a straight-up animal. What began as a bizarre incident in his parents' garden when he was just nine years old spiraled into full-blown tabloid madness and eventually pulled in Ed and Lorraine Warren.Is it old-school folklore, straight-up demonic possession, a serious mental health thing, or some unholy mix of all three? This one really doesn't fit in any neat little box.What We Uncover in This Episode:Bill Ramsey's full story — starting with that insane 1952 garden episode as a kid where he ripped a fence post (concrete and all) out of the ground and chewed through wire with his teeth, all the way through the escalating nightmare of the 1980sThe notorious 1987 police station showdown in Southend where he fought a dozen cops on all fours, growling “The devil is in me…”A proper deep dive into werewolf history, from the Epic of Gilgamesh and King Lycaon all the way to medieval monster trials, the Beast of Gévaudan, and modern clinical lycanthropyHow the Warrens got pulled into the case, the intense 1989 exorcism with Bishop Robert McKenna, and the wild physical changes people swore they sawThe big debate: demonic animal spirit, psychological condition, hysterical strength, or something else entirelyWhat happened to Bill after the exorcism, his appearance on Sightings, and why this case still feels impossible to pin downWhy You NEED to Listen:If you're into episodes that feel like a proper paranormal thriller, this one's for you. Between my recent werewolf kick (thanks to Joe Abercrombie's The Devils, An American Werewolf in London, and Bad Moon), the edge-of-your-seat storytelling, and that lingering “what if this could actually happen to a normal person?” question - this might be one of our creepiest episodes yet. Fair warning: you might find yourself side-eyeing your backyard and mirrors for a while after this one.RAD WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR SHOW:JOIN OUR PATREON: Exclusive episodes, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes weirdness: patreon.com/thatwouldberadBUY US A COFFEE: Fuel our late-night research sessions — buymeacoffee.com/thatwouldberad ☕️CHECK OUT OUR MERCH: Grab official That Would Be Rad gear — thatwouldberad.myspreadshop.comSHOW INFO:

Los Diablos de Joe Abercrombie podcast recorded with enacast.com
The Devils by Joe Abercrombie follows an invasion of flesh-eating elves threatening Europe and a special force of monsters recruited to save the day. Joe joins us to talk about fantasy subgenres, characterization, voice, action sequences, The Lord of the Rings and more with cohost Jenna Seery. This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Jenna Seery and mixed by Harry Liang. New episodes land Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays) here and on your favorite podcast app. Featured Books (Episode): The Devils by Joe Abercrombie The Red Winter by Cameron Sullivan The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie L.A. Confidential by James Ellroy A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry The Civil War: A Narrative, Volume 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville by Shelby Foote
In this episode we dive into The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. It's a departure from the grim world of The First Law, leaning into a "monsters vs. monsters" heist set in a supernatural, alternate-history Europe. If you've ever wondered what it would look like if the Vatican recruited a werewolf, a vampire, and a deathless soldier to save the world - well, you're in luck. We discuss the shift in tone, the hilarious "refrains" Joe uses for his characters, and whether this new direction lives up to his legendary fantasy status. We break down the entire motley crew—from Jakob's "righteous" path to the mystery of Baptiste—and comparing the action to Abercrombie's previous work. Is Viga the new Bloody Nine? Does the humor land as well as the sword-swings? We also feature some of the best takes from our Discord book club, including debating character rethreads, the themes of the book, and who is likely to love the book. Stick around to hear our final scores and why this might be the most "fun" Abercrombie has ever been. And make sure to subscribe so you don't miss our next episode, where we'll be pivoting to discuss the best of Young Adult (YA) scifi and fantasy!

The Buddies read the not-so-fiction feeling dystopian classic "1984" by George Orwell this week.

To start this week's episode, Cody enthusiastically shares with Joe the details of his most recent book haul, an exciting collection that has him buzzing with anticipation for his reading adventures ahead. Among the treasures he has acquired is Matt Dinniman's newest novel, Operation Bounce House, which promises to deliver an exhilarating blend of action and humor. Cody elaborates on Dinniman's unique storytelling style, which often combines elements of fantasy and adventure, making this latest installment an intriguing addition to his growing library. He also mentions the first book in the series Dungeon Crawler Carl, a title that has garnered much attention and praise for its inventive approach to the dungeon-crawling genre, filled with quirky characters and unexpected plot twists. In addition to these, Cody reveals that he has picked up Dan Brown's latest Robert Langdon novel, The Secret of Secrets. He discusses how Brown's works are renowned for their intricate plots that weave together history, art, and thrilling mysteries, and he expresses his eagerness to dive into this new narrative that promises to challenge Langdon's intellect and adventurous spirit once more. The last book in Cody's haul is Joe Abercrombie's The Devils, a title that has been highly anticipated by fans of Abercrombie's gritty and darkly humorous fantasy novels. Cody reflects on Abercrombie's ability to create morally complex characters and immersive worlds, making this book a must-read for any fantasy aficionado. After sharing his literary finds, the conversation shifts as the guys dive into some juicy entertainment news. The first story they discuss revolves around a potential live-action Marvin the Martian movie, a project that seemed to have great promise but ultimately went nowhere. They speculate on what could have been and the challenges that often accompany adaptations of beloved animated characters into live-action formats. Following this, Joe brings up the exciting news that Mathew Vaughn is rebooting Kick-Ass, along with plans for spin-offs that will exist within a shared universe. They delve into the implications of this move, considering how it could expand the Kick-Ass franchise and attract both new fans and long-time supporters of the original films. Cody then shifts the conversation to Paramount's recent announcements regarding new additions to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. He highlights the company's ambitious plans to create new YouTube shows, develop fresh merchandise, and even launch themed restaurants, all aimed at revitalizing the beloved franchise for a new generation. The guys discuss the cultural impact of the Turtles and how these new initiatives could potentially reignite interest in the characters and their adventures. As the episode progresses, Cody shares that AppleTV has made a significant move by acquiring the intellectual property for their hit TV series Severance. He expresses curiosity about how this acquisition might influence the future of the series and its storytelling possibilities. The conversation flows into a broader discussion about the evolving landscape of television and streaming services, particularly how companies are vying for unique content to attract subscribers. To wrap up the episode, the guys tackle some exciting news about a few new electric vehicles (EVs) that are set to hit the market soon. Among them is Rivian's R2, which promises to bring innovative features and sustainability to the forefront of the automotive industry. They also discuss the rebirth of an American icon—the fully electric Scout—reflecting on the significance of this vehicle in American automotive history and its potential impact on the EV market. The episode concludes with a lively exchange of thoughts on the future of transportation and the growing importance of environmentally friendly options in the automotive landscape.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

There are 10 big mindset differences between pro fantasy authors and amateur ones. I've noticed these from talking with world-class writers like Joe Abercrombie, Christopher Ruocchio, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and dozens more — and from coaching over 220 emerging writers in my classes and programs.Learning these 10 mindset differences has helped me publish 4 fantasy books, and an interactive fantasy novel — which all together have sold around 25,000 copies. And between my books and this YouTube channel, I've been a full-time creative for over two years now!So while I'm certainly no mega NYT-bestselling author, I am lucky enough to be living out my creative dreams, and I can credit that to learning how to think and act like a pro — not an amateur. By listening to this episode, you'll learn how to do the same. Join my Fantasy Writers' Guild: jedherne.com/guild Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There comes a time in the life of every author when they have to do that truly terrifying thing: Talk about their book. In this special crossover episode with SFF Addicts, we talk about talking about writing! A lot of that involves the beast we all face these days: social media. Branding, marketing, algorithms, trends, parasocial relationships -- It's a lot. How much do you really need to do, and how can you set boundaries around your public and private selves? But there are also times and places an author may need to talk about their book beyond social media and marketing. Sometimes, you have to do it in (gasp!) real life! What techniques can we use to get more comfortable with public speaking? What's good etiquette for being on a panel at a convention or conference? How can you engage with readers one-on-one in a way that makes them see you as an interesting person, not just a book-shilling Gollum incapable of taking about anything except your precious? We share our experiences and offer our perspectives on navigating those situations! Our Guests: SFF Addicts is a weekly sci-fi, fantasy and writing craft podcast co-hosted by Adrian M. Gibson and fellow authors M.J. Kuhn and Greta Kelly, bringing you interviews and writing masterclasses with your favorite SFF authors. Past guests include: George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson, Jim Butcher, Robin Hobb, James S.A. Corey, Scott Lynch, Christopher Paolini, Martha Wells, Joe Abercrombie, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Fonda Lee, Mark Lawrence, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Nicholas Eames, Michael J. Sullivan, Andrea Stewart, Travis Baldree, Mary Robinette Kowal, Gareth L. Powell, Hugh Howey, Robert Jackson Bennett, Rebecca Roanhorse, Chelsea Abdullah, RJ Barker and many more. The full episode archive can be found here. You can also subscribe to the FanFiAddict YouTube channel, where all episodes are available in full video. Adrian M. Gibson is an award-winning Canadian SFF author, podcaster and illustrator (as well as occasional tattoo artist). He was born in Ontario, Canada, but grew up in British Columbia. He studied English Literature and has worked in music journalism, restaurants, tattoo studios, clothing stores and a bevy of odd jobs. In 2021, he created the SFF Addicts podcast, which he co-hosts with fellow authors M. J. Kuhn and Greta Kelly. The three host in-depth interviews with an array of science fiction and fantasy authors, as well as writing masterclasses. Adrian has a not-so-casual obsession with mushrooms, relishes in the vastness of nature and is a self-proclaimed “child of the mountains.” He enjoys cooking, music, video games, politics and science, as well as reading fiction and comic books. He lives in Quito, Ecuador with his wife and sons. His debut novel is MUSHROOM BLUES, which is available to purchase here. M.J. Kuhn is a fantasy writer by night and a mild-mannered marketer and business owner by day. She is the internationally bestselling author of Among Thieves and Thick as Thieves, cohost of SFF Addicts podcast, and lives in the metro Detroit area with her very spoiled cats, Evie and Thorin Oakenshield. Greta Kelly is the author of the critically acclaimed adult fantasy novels THE FROZEN CROWN, THE SEVENTH QUEEN and THE QUEEN OF DAYS (Voyager) and the co-host of SFF ADDICTS Podcast. Her writing has also appeared in Nerdist, i09 and Writer's Digest.
