Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book was recently awarded an Audie Award for not only Children's Title Ages 8-12 but also was named Audiobook of the Year. This award no doubt holds special significance to the author as The Graveyard Book was read by Gaiman himself.

Also honoured was Canadian science fiction giant Robert J. Sawyer, whose excellent novel Calculating God (read by Jonathan Davis) won Science Fiction/Fantasy Audio Book of the Year.
