2014 Locus Adayları Duyuruldu

Locus Science Fiction Foundation (Bilimkurgu Vakfı), 2014 Locus Ödülleri adaylarını açıkladı.

Listeye genel bir göz attığımızda Bilimkurgu Roman kategorisinde Damızlık Kızın Öyküsü ile tanıdığımız Margaret Atwood’u, Enginlik Serisi ile oldukça beğenimizi kazanan James S. A. Corey ve Shaman adlı kitabıyla Kim Stanley Robinson’u görüyoruz. Fantastik kitaplara baktığımızda ise Neil Gaiman’ı, Stephen King’i ve oğlu Joe Hill’i görüyoruz. Baba-oğulun aynı kategoride bulunması ilginç bir deneyim olsa gerek.
