The Bram Stoker Awards are presented each year by the Horror Writers Association, voted on by its members, and are the leading honours in horror fiction; Superior Achievement in a Novel is their flagship category. Awarded since 1988, the prize has gone to Stephen King more often than to anyone else, and its winners run from The Silence of the Lambs and Peter Straub to Paul Tremblay and Stephen Graham Jones. Two years ended in a tie. This list collects the winning novels by the year the award was presented.
The Hugo Award for Best Novel is the premier honour for science fiction and fantasy novels, voted on annually by members of the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) since 1953. It is one of the field’s highest distinctions - past winners span foundational works from Ursula K. Le Guin and Isaac Asimov to N.K. Jemisin, who won three years running. This list collects the winning novels by year.
The Locus Awards are voted on each year by the readers of Locus, the magazine of the science fiction and fantasy field, which makes them one of the best guides to the books readers themselves have loved most. The Best Fantasy Novel award was first given in 1978, to Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, and its winners since include Ursula K. Le Guin, four volumes of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, Neil Gaiman, China Miéville and N. K. Jemisin. This list collects the winning novels by year.

The Nebula Award for Best Novel is presented annually by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, chosen by the genre’s own professional writers rather than by a fan convention - a useful counterpoint to the Hugo. Awarded since 1966, its winners run from Frank Herbert’s Dune (the very first) through Ursula K. Le Guin, Joe Haldeman and Samuel R. Delany to the field’s leading contemporary voices. This list collects the winning novels by year.
