About This Book

One–time professional gambler Scott Crane hasn't returned to Las Vegas, or held a hand of cards, in ten years. But troubling nightmares about a strange poker game he once attended on a houseboat on Lake Mead –– a contest he believed he walked away from a big winner –– are drawing him back to the magical city. Because the mythic game did not end that night in 1969. And the price of his winnings was his soul. And now a pot far more strange and perilous than he ever could imagine depends on the turning of a card.

World Fantasy Award for Best Novel (Winners)
The World Fantasy Award for Best Novel has been presented each year since 1975 at the World Fantasy Convention, chosen by a panel of judges rather than by popular vote. It honours the year’s finest fantasy novel, drawing on the whole breadth of the field from high fantasy and fairy tale to its darker and more literary edges. Its winners run from Gene Wolfe and Ursula K. Le Guin to Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and Haruki Murakami. Several years have ended in a tie, with two novels sharing the award. This list collects the winning novels by year.
