LOCAL author and lecturer at Limerick School of Art and Design, Tracey Fahey, won the Paul Cave Prize for Literature with her novella of ancient mythological women and contemporary ecological crises, What Happens At The End.
“It was a complete surprise,’ says Ms Fahey, who got the news as she travelled home from the British Fantasy Awards in Chester, UK, where her recent novella, They Shut Me Up, had been nominated for another award.
“It’s all the more exciting as What Happens At The End is unpublished, and part of a big project I’ve just completed—a book of linked stories on the mythological figure of ‘the Hag’, so it’s a real joy to see it recognised,” she said.
