Locus Awards 2014: Os vencedores

Já são conhecidos os vencedores dos Prémios Locus 2014, criados em 1971 e atribuídos anualmente por votação dos leitores da revista Locus às obras de ficção científica e fantasia que mais se destacaram no ano anterior. Na edição deste ano, Neil Gaiman foi distinguido em duas categorias de ficção, com The Ocean at the End of the Lane a ser considerado pelos leitores da revista como "Melhor Romance de Fantasia" e com a noveleta The Sleeper and the Spindle, publicada na antologia Rags & Bones, a ser distinguida na respectiva categoria. Abbadon's Gate, o terceiro volume da série Expanse, de James S. A. Corey (pseudónimo da dupla de Daniel Abraham e Ty Franck), foi considerado o "Melhor Romance de Ficção Científica".
