World Fantasy Awards Nominations Out!
Locus Magazine has listed the nominations for this year’s World Fantasy Awards. The winners will be announced at the World Fantasy Convention between 30 Oct - 2 Nov 2008.
Of note is the list of nominees for Novel:
-
- Fangland, John Marks
(Penguin) - Fangland, John Marks
-
- The Gospel of the Knife, Will Shetterly
(Tor) - The Gospel of the Knife, Will Shetterly
-
- The Servants, Michael Marshall Smith
(Earthling Publications) - The Servants, Michael Marshall Smith
-
- Territory, Emma Bull
(Tor) - Territory, Emma Bull
-
- Ysabel, Guy Gavriel Kay
(Viking Canada; Roc) - Ysabel, Guy Gavriel Kay
Now, you’ll know that I’m a HUGE Guy Gavriel Kay fan, but there’s simply no way Kay’s going to win with Ysabel. Well, of course I’d like him to win. However, Ysabel was far from his best work, and frankly I’ll eat my chair if he does win.
Jeff Vandermeer posts his thoughts on the finalists on the Amazon blog Omnivoracious.
