THESE BONES and THE ORIGINAL GLITCH are 2021 Foreword INDIES Award Gold Winners

Lanternfish Press is thrilled to announce two Lanternfish titles have been selected as Gold Award winners in this year’s Foreword INDIES Awards, hosted by Foreword Reviews.

Lanternfish Press had three titles nominated as INDIES Award finalists in March.

These Bones

Gold Winner, Literary Fiction

Kayla Chenault’s debut historical horror novella follows a family through the decades of the 20th Century in a segregated Midwestern town. The novella received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.

The Original Glitch

Gold Winner, Science Fiction

In this contemporary take on Frankenstein, a deceased scientist’s protégé must figure out how to protect the world from the rogue AI she left behind.

For this year’s competition, over 2,700 entries were submitted in 55 categories, with Foreword’s editors choosing approximately 10 finalists per genre. Those finalists were then delivered to individual librarians and booksellers tasked with picking the Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Honorable Mention winners.
