The Australian Speculative Fiction Awards - commonly referred to as the Ditmar Awards - recognise excellence by Australians in Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. The Ditmars are a proud tradition that have been continuously maintained by Australian fandom since they were first presented in 1969.
Each year, the Australian National Speculative And Science Fiction Convention presents the Ditmar Awards for the previous calendar year.
Mil and Jason have been included in this year’s short list of nominations for "Best Australian Speculative Fiction Novel for 2007" for The Darkness Within. Jason has also been nominated for "Best New Talent in 2007", which is also an incredible honour.
The results from the Ditmar Awards will be announced in Perth at Easter.
And in further recognition of their book, Mil and Jason have also been nominated for the "Australian Shadows Award" with the Australian Horror Writers Association. The winner of this award will be announced in April.
The Darkness Within was originally co-written by Mil and Jason in 2000 and published in 2007 by Hachette Livre Australia. The novel recently received an Honourable Mention at this year’s Australian Aurealis Awards which were held in February in Brisbane.
