About This Book

Eleven hundred and some years after the death of Christ, in a kingdom only beginning to call itself England, a dead man rises to save the village of Cosham from a great evil. He is Once Was Willem, and he tells his own story: a dark medieval tale of monsters and magic, twisted folklore, the crimes of desperate men, and the strangest of found families.

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.
