Lynne M. Thomas, Head of the Rare Book & Manuscript Library at the University Library has won a Special Award (Non-Professional) from the World Fantasy Convention for Uncanny Magazine. Uncanny Magazine is an online science fiction and fantasy magazine that features fiction, poetry, gorgeous prose, and nonfiction.

Lynne was recognized alongside fellow editor-in-chief Michael Damian Thomas at the 2024 World Fantasy Awards earlier this month. The World Fantasy Convention is an annual gathering of authors, artists, editors, agents, publishers, and fans of the Fantasy & Horror literary genres from all across the globe.

“It is such an honor to have our work at Uncanny Magazine recognized by a World Fantasy Award. We are deeply grateful to the jury and voters for this award,” said Thomas. Uncanny Magazine has received a total of nine nominations for this award, but this year was their first win.

Congratulations to Thomas for this achievement!
