2025 Locus Awards Winners

The winners of the 2025 Locus Awards Winners have been announced. The awards are voted by subscribers and readers of Locus Magazine, the SFF field's long-running newsmagazine.

These are the winners of the fiction awards.

  • Science Fiction Novel: The Man Who Saw Seconds, Alexander Boldizar 
  • Fantasy Novel: A Sorceress Comes to Call, T. Kingfisher
  • Horror Novel: Bury Your Gays, Chuck Tingle 
  • Young Adult Novel: Moonstorm, Yoon Ha Lee 
  • First Novel: Someone You Can Build a Nest In, John Wiswell 
  • Novella: What Feasts at Night, T. Kingfisher
  • Novelette: “By Salt, By Sea, By Light of Stars“, Premee Mohamed 
  • Short Story: “Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole“, Isabel J. Kim

  • Someone You Can Build a Nest in won the 2024 Nebula Award for Best Novel. Back in April, I said that I would be disappointed if “Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole“ didn't win the Short Story Hugo Award. It may yet and I'm not at all surprised that it has won a Nebula Award and now a Locus Award. It's a remarkable story that works on many levels.
