Organizers of the annual Bloody Scotland international crime-writing festival have announced their shortlist of five contenders for this year’s Bloody Scotland Debut Prize:
• Crow Moon, by Suzy Aspley (Orenda)
• Dark Island, by Daniel Aubrey (Harper North)
• The Silent House of Sleep, by Allan Gaw (SA Press)
• Blood Runs Deep, by Doug Sinclair (Storm)
• Double Proof, by Martin Stewart (Polygon)
The 2024 festival will be held in Stirling, Scotland, from September 13 to 15. A press release explains that “On the opening day of the festival, Friday 13 September, the shortlisted debut authors will appear on a Debut Prize panel at Central Library in Stirling chaired by BBC Scotland’s Arts correspondent Pauline McLean.”
The presentation of this commendation, along with the 2024 McIlvanney Prize (nominees still to be declared), “will take place in the ballroom of The Golden Lion Hotel at 5.45pm washed down with Bloody Scotland cocktails courtesy of Stirling Distillery. The winners will be interviewed on stage by TV and radio presenter Bryan Burnett after which they will join a procession led by the Stirling Schools Pipe Band to the first event of the evening at The Albert Halls.”
Congratulations to all of the nominees!
