2022 Nebula Award Finalists

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) has announced the finalists for the 2022 Nebula Awards. The awards are voted on by members of SFWA, and the winners will be announced during the 2023 Nebula Conference, May 12-14. 

These are the finalists for the best novel:

  • Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree (Cryptid; Tor)
  • Spear, Nicola Griffith (Tordotcom)
  • Nettle & Bone, T. Kingfisher (Tor; Titan UK)
  • Babel, R.F. Kuang (Harper Voyager US; Harper Voyager UK)
  • Nona the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir (Tordotcom)
  • The Mountain in the Sea, Ray Nayler (MCD; Weidenfeld & Nicolson)
I haven't yet read any of these, though I do plan to get Babel and The Mountains in the Sea.

Most of the finalists for the awards are are available to read on line, either in full or with excerpts, with links in the Locus article or from File 770. At least two (C. L. Polk and Kelly Robson) are Canadian. 

The list of finalists for the Ray Bradbury Award for drama is especially strong this year. My choice would be either Everything Everywhere All at Once or The Sandman, though I was surprised to see that The Peripheral wasn't nominated.
  • Andor: “One Way Out”
  • Everything Everywhere All at Once
  • Nope
  • Our Flag Means Death
  • The Sandman: Season 1
  • Severance
Congratulations to all the finalists.
