The Science Fiction/Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) awarded the Nebulas Saturday night, in Chicago. Here are the writing winners:
Best Novel:
Annihilation, Book One of Jeff VanderMeer’s creepy, deliciously paranoiac Southern Reach trilogy. Here is a review.
Best Novella:
“Yesterday’s Kin” by Nancy Kress. You can read a review by Terry Weyna, of Fantasy Literature, here.
Best Novelette:
“A Guide to the Fruits of Hawai’i by Alaya Dawn Johnson (review here)
Best Short Story:

Alaya Dawn Johnson also won the Andre Norton Award for Love is the Drug, and Guardians of the Galaxy the Ray Bradbury Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.
About Annihilation… I am glad it won. I didn’t warm up to a single character in that entire trilogy, but I am glad it won simply for the superb quality of the execution.
