Established only a few months ago, The David Gemmell Award has received a lot of buzz in its quest to crown the top Fantasy novel of the year.
From the The David Gemmell Awardweb site:
The DGLA will be presented for the very first time in 2009 for the best Fantasy novel of 2008. The award will be given to a work written in the ‘spirit’ of the late, great David Gemmell, a true Master of Heroic Fantasy.
And, we want YOU – the readers who love the genre to VOTE to decide who makes the Short-list!
Though seeming to focus mostly on the Epic Fantasy sub-genre, The David Gemmell Award is a great cause in turning the spotlight towards an oft maligned (at least in Internetland of late) area of Fantasy, and honouring a legend. So get on over there and vote! There are over 80 novels on the long list, so there’s sure to be something there you’ve read and enjoyed.
