Eligible ZNB Stories for the HUGO Award!

The nomination window for the HUGOs is closing on March 16th, right around the corner!  Here are the stories that were published by Zombies Need Brains in 2018 that are eligible for the award and which category each fits into.  These are in no particular order (just the order in which I ran across them while creating the list).  I also threw in our editors from last year.  Please nominate your favorite stories and/or editors!  We thank you for your consideration.  And remember, you can add and adjust your nomination ballots up to March 16th, so even if you've already nominated, you can change your ballot!

Even if you can't nominate for the HUGO, please take a moment to post a review of one of the three anthologies Zombies Need Brains released in 2018:  GUILDS & GLAIVES, THE RAZOR'S EDGE, or SECOND ROUND: A RETURN FROM THE UR-BAR.  Every review helps these anthologies reach a larger audience!  Use this as a reminder of the stories in each one and tell us which are your favorites in your review!
