2009 Nebula Awards

The shortlists for the 2009 Nebula Awards have been announced. These awards are presented each year by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America across the categories of Novel (40,000 words or more), Novella (17,500 to 40,000 words), Novelette (7,500 to 17,500 words), Short Story (under 7,500 words) and Script (for a movie, TV or radio show, or a play). While it isn't actually a Nebula Award, the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy is presented at the same ceremony as the main awards. In 2009, Monster Blood Tattoo: Lamplighter by D.M. Cornish has been nominated for this award. You might remember that Justine Larbalestier won the Norton back in 2007 for her novel Magic or Madness.

D. M. Cornish

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling
The seventh and last book in the series. You get this far and you have to finish it off.

Why She Loves Him by Wendy James
Short stories from the author of Out of the Silence and The Steele Diaries.

Blind Eye by Stuart MacBride
Macbride's fifth DS McRae novel - hard to see it getting more gruesome than this.

State of Emergency by Sam Fisher
Cinematic, high-tech, futuristic rescue fiction. This might have started its own genre.

Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
A coming-of-age novel set in a small WA mining town in the 1960s. Ticks all the relevant boxes.

Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon
Chabon's homage to the adventure novel. Reminiscent of Moorcock and Leiber.

Headlong by Susan Varga
When is life still worth living, or is it better to die with dignity?

The Pages by Murray Bail
Bail's first novel since Eucalyptus, about an Outback genius philosopher - or is he? [Shortlisted for the 2009 Miles Franklin Award.]
