The 2008 World Fantasy Award nominees have been announced. In what may be a first, two of the nominees for Best Novel are husband and wife: Emma Bull was nominated for Territory and her husband, Will Shetterly, for Gospel of the Knife. Another of the nominees is Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay. I’ve not yet read Ysabel but Tigana by Kay is one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time.
The winners will be announced at the World Fantasy Convention in Alberta, Canada at the end of October.
