Audie Awards Recognize SF&F by Chadwick Ginther - Wednesday, Jun 03, 2009 at 10:03am

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.

A full list of winners in all categories may be found here.
