Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book was awarded the 2009 Hugo Award for best novel Sunday at the 67th World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) in Montreal.
Gaiman's novel about a boy who is raised by ghosts came in ahead of contenders including Neal Stephenson's Anathem, Chares Stross's Saturn's Children, and Cory Doctorow's Little Brother.
Gaiman is a four time Hugo Award winner and has already won a Newbery medal and a Locus young adult award for The Graveyard Book. Gaiman declined the 2005 Hugo for Anansi Boys because he
felt having won the award three times already, that someone else deserved a shot at it.
The Hugo is awarded annually and voted on by the members of the World Science Fiction Society. Learn more at www.thehugoawards.org.

I’ve always been a fan of Neil Gaiman. All of his work including that for Marvel Comics.
Well done Neal – very impressive.
