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.
You can vote HERE.
Yeah, please vote.
I voted today and I did it without reading all novels.
I’ve already voted for Kearney’s The Ten Thousand. Somehow I doubt you’ll be voting for that novel as well, Aidan! ;)
I’ll be voting for “The Red Wolf Conspiracy” by Robert V.S. Redick :-)
