2011 British Fantasy Society Award Shortlist
The 2011 British Fantasy Society Award Shortlist has been announced. Then nominees for Best Novel are:
- Apartment 16 – Adam Nevill – Pan McMillan
- Demon Dance – Sam Stone – The House Of Murky Depths
- The Leaping – Tom Fletcher – Quercus
- Pretty Little Dead Things – Gary McMahon – Angry Robot
- The Silent Land – Graham Joyce – Gollancz
See the complete list on the BFS site.
So there does not seem to be much fantasy in the list… unless you’re calling this "Dark Fantasy" instead of Horror.

The fantasy/horror overlap is interesting, though the term "dark fantasy" actually seems to be of American origin (according to Wikipedia). "The Silent Land" doesn’t even appear to have any fantasy elements, unless the story description is leaving something out.
