Shire Hell by Rachel Johnson has won this year's Bad Sex in Fiction Award. Tom Fleming, deputy editor of Literary Review, said,
all the entries were equally awful this year, but Rachel Johnson had the worst metaphors, and the worst animal metaphors.
As an example she compared her male protagonists light fingers to a moth caught inside a lampshade. Rachel described her win as an absolute honour. [via The Guardian]
