The 2008 World Tour
Friday, October 17th, 2008
The endgame of my stint as a World Fantasy Award judge is approaching rapidly. In a little over a week I’ll be jetting off overseas and in a little over a week the winners will be announced in Calgary, Canada.
After I’m back I’m going to review each of the winners and maybe do a category by category rundow. But until then a reminder of the life achievement winners and shortlisted nominees.
