Arthur Ellis Award
![[Ellis Trophy]](ellis1.jpg)
The Crime Writers of Canada's Arthur Ellis Award is named after
the pseudonym used by Canada's last official hangman. When you
pull the cord attached to the trophy, the poor fellow hanging
from the noose does death spasms . . .
The trophies are designed and built by Canadian artist Barry Lambeck.
I won the Arthur Ellis Award for my story "Just Like
Old Times," commissioned for Mike Resnick's anthology
Dinosaur Fantastic, and first
published in On Spec magazine.
