The nominees for the 2009 World Fantasy Awards have been released. These awards recognise outstanding achievements in the fantasy genre for the 2008 calendar year. They are jury judged in a similar manner to the Nebula Awards, and differ from the reader determined Hugo Awards - the other major awards in the sf and fantasy fields.
This year's awards will be presented at the 2009 World Fantasy Convention which is being held over the weekend of October 29 - November 1 in San Jose, California.
This year the following Australian works have been nominated:
Best Novel: Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan
Best Collection: Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan
