Check it out! The World Fantasy Award Nominees were just announced.
A Dance with Dragons by G.R.R. Martin made the cut, as did Among Others by Jo Walton. If you'll recall, both were nominated for the Hugo award this year.
Stephen King makes an appearance, which shouldn't surprise too many people (well, maybe it will because he's not particularly well-known for his fantasy works).
The real surprises are the books that haven't made much of a splash in the genre world. Osama, by Lavie Tidhar seems like something to keep an eye out for, as well as Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman.
I'll let you know what I think but until then, post your thoughts in the comments.
