I was hoping so much that it would be on the list today. I'm thrilled for all concerned to see it there.
On to the shortlist it must go!

There's a Monster Behind the Door by Gaëlle Bélem, translated by Karen Fleetwood and @laetitia-stloubert.bsky.social, has captured the hearts of the judges, Caleb Femi, Sana Goyal, Anton Hur, Beth Orton and Max Porter (chair).

We are over the moon if a little overwhelmed.

Thanks are due in many directions: the Arts Council as always; @literatureireland.bsky.social, @lecnl.bsky.social and Institut français for funding this title; the Embassy of France in Ireland for supporting Bélem's visit to Ireland for the launch in October 2024;

Seán Farrell for editing, Samantha Rogers and Aisling Arundel for their editorial input and last but far from least @hitoneie.bsky.social for the stunning cover.

Congratulations to all, but especially to the author and translators. Thank you for putting your trust in us.
