Australian Shadows Awards announced!

Last night the Australian Shadows Awards were announced. I may not have this completely right, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they were announced on Facebook. You can still go read the proceedings, as it were, on the organisation's Facebook page (until something else exciting happens, I suppose), which you can access without being logged in. I have basically copied the results from there. I expect they will soon appear on the Australian Shadows/AHWA website, but they have not yet as of this writing.

The Australian Shadows Awards are awarded by the Australian Horror Writers Association, which describes them thusly:
The Australian Shadows are the annual literary awards presented by the AHWA and judged on the overall effect — the skill, delivery, and lasting resonance — of horror fiction written or edited by an Australian.

Each category below lists the finalists with the winner bolded. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists!

(I see that I have read very few of the works listed below, which probably means I'm not keeping up with horror as much as I would like to be :-/ )
