The Tundra Prize Winner, 2002

The Emily Chesley Reading Circle announces with great pride, the winner of our Annual Dr. Maximilian Tundra Memorial Poetry and Short Speculative Fiction Contest.

K.A. Corlett's "Burial Practice" has won the 2002 Tundra Prize.

"The purple perfection of the prose! The perfect capturing of the way the practioners of the art of interment really talk when slip-sliding around an inverted coffin. Had the speculative element only been stronger, this might have been written by the Mistress herself. "

-- Ed Willett, Canadian SF author and judge for 2002 Tundra Prize

• Ernest Reimer for "The Necrophone Incident"
• Adam H. Dooley for "Lars the Schleswigian Anarchist"
