Using Awards Lists as a RA Tool: 2019 Locus Award Finalists Edition

I am on the road to StokerCon, so I have speculative fiction on the brain. But luckily so does Locus who just annoucend their finalists for the Locus Awards. What I love about these awards is that they are for all of the speculative genres-- SF, Fantasy and Horror. The list of finalists here is an excellent tool for suggestions, displays, and collection development for all speculative genres for audiences form teen to adult.


Below I have reposted the first three categories-- SF, Fantasy and Horror novel, but there are many more categories, authors, titles, and collections you should know about if you click through.
