Locus Awards

The Locus Awards are annual honors given by Locus Magazine to recognize outstanding achievements in science fiction, fantasy, and horror literature. Writers, editors, and readers vote on their favorite books, stories, and authors published in the previous year. Established in 1971, these awards reflect both popular and critical acclaim within these genres. They are considered prestigious indicators of excellence and influence in speculative fiction, celebrating creative storytelling and innovation across various categories such as best novel, best short story, and best art.
