The book was also a finalist for The Shirley Jackson Award, the Locus Award, and the Mythopoeic Award for best fantasy adult novel.

Gregory's short stories have appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Asimov's, several year's-best anthologies, and other fine venues.

In 2005 Gregory recieved the Asimov's Readers' Award for the novelette "Second Person, Present Tense."

Daryl Gregory interviews

Fantastic Reviews interviewed Daryl Gregory in November 2008 - http://www.geocities.com/fantasticreviews/gregory_interview.htm. Here is an excerpt from that interview:
"My characters tend to be people who are kind of in the dark, and who are not in power, who are not the scientists making the groundbreaking discoveries, they're usually the people on the fringes."
