Authors from 15 countries and translation from 11 languages. And one story from me! Proud to represent Norway (and Iceland!) here. Stories in anthologies Helgadóttir has edited have also been shortlisted to several awards, including the Caine Prize for African Writing ( Chikodili Emelumadu for “Bush Baby” in African Monsters), Aurealis Award ( Michael Grey for "Grind" in Pacific Monsters), Australian Shadows Award ( Rue Karney for "The Hand Walker" in Pacific Monsters), and Sir Julius Vogel Awards ( AJ Fitwater for "From the Womb of the Land, Our Bones Entwined" in Pacific Monsters).
