I suspect the 1635 and 1636 books will cancel each other out, or they’ll have to coordinate before they decide.


6. Best Apocalyptic Novel

Ctrl Alt Revolt! by Nick Cole

A Time to Die by Mark Wandrey

Dark Age by Felix O. Hartmann

Chasing Freedom by Marina Fontaine

The Desert and the Blade by S.M. Stirling

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin


This is interesting, since three of the novels here are written by conservatives: Cole, Wandrey, and Fontaine are certainly no liberals.

NK Jemisin, however, is one of the Puppy Kickers, and a racist who seems to dislike white people, and Native Americans.

7. Best Horror Novel

An Unattractive Vampire by Jim McDoniel

Disappearance at Devil’s Rock by Paul Tremblay

Souldancer by Brian Niemeier

Chapelwood by Cherie Priest

Alice by Christina Henry

Honor at Stake by Declan Finn


Brian Niemeier is another Sad Puppy choice this year. In fact, he’s one of the bigger crossovers between two different set of Puppy lists – he was nominated by both the recommended reading list of Sad Puppies 4, and the Rabid Puppy list of author and publisher Vox Day.

The only other person from the Sad Puppies list happens to be Honor at Stake, by this fellow named Declan Finn. Finn is known for being a troublemaker online, including his constant taunting of SJWs and Puppy Kickers in his Sad Puppies Bite Back series of parodies. He’s a little annoying, but he has my vote in this particular round.

When Vox Day commented on the list, going into elaborate explanations for most of the votes, his only commentary here was "Sorry Declan, you are screwed." Which is sort of amusing.

Yes, I am Declan Finn. And I know I have no chance, but I’m going to try anyway.

Brian Niemeier’s Souldancer and Honor at Stake actually have deeply religious themes, with the former having a premise of "Space Pirates go to Hell," and the latter using theology and Thomistic philosophy to go into vampires.

Yes, the File 770 SJW crowd does not like either pick. Tough. To be honest, I haven’t even heard of the others.

Many of the others are fairly apolitical choices, which is interesting.
