Dodijeljene World Fantasy Awards

Svjetska fantasy konvencija održala se tijekom prvog vikenda u studenom u Torontu, na kojoj su dodjeljene nagrade za najbolja ostvarenja u fantastičnom žanru. Zanimljivo je da u najznačajnijioj kategoriji, onoj za roman, nagrada nije otišla ni Martinu ni Jo Walton koji su važili za favorite. Dobitnika u kategoriji kratke priče imali ste prilike pročitati u Siriusu B (dvobroj 5/6), a priču A small Price to Pay for Birdsong čitat ćete u jednom od narednih brojeva (možda do tada saznamo tko se krije iza pseudonima K. J. Parker). Slijede dobitnici i nominirani u literarnim kategorijama:
