So sad!! They didn’t update about zombies, but I think Monstrilio has a shot.

Looking in the comments, it appears that Monstrilio is now definitely out. The two head zombies continue.

The Bee Sting and
Chain-Gang All-Stars

Still in the running -

The Librarianist

Permanently dead -
American Mermaid,
The Auburn Conference,
Big Swiss,
Boys Weekend,
Brainwyrms,
Cold People,
Dayswork,
The Lost Journals of Sacajewea,
Monstrilio,
Open Throat,
The Shamshine Blind, and
What You Are Looking for Is in the Library

Librarianist is having quite the run, isn't it? It's the little book that could. (And I may have been a little dismissive of it, but it's a nice little book, can't get too mad at it.)

Other than that, it definitely feels like the other three of the final four were shoo-ins to get this far.

If I were to go solely by which book I enjoyed reading more, which isn’t the craziest of ideas, The Librarianist gets a Secretariat style 29 length victory.

What a heartbreaker of a judgment! I'm a huge fan of DeWitt, but Monstrilio was such a rare beautiful gem. It's hard to choke this one down.

Same, Mark. Same.
