Premios Locus 2012

 El pasado día 16 de junio se han anunciado los ganadores de los Premios Locus del 2012.  Dichos premios son entregados por la revista americana Locus desde el año 1971 y premian a las mejores obras de ciencia ficción y fantasía del año anterior.  Como siempre aquí tardaremos un par de años por lo menos en ver traducidas la mayor parte de estas obras si es que las vemos algún día. Pero bueno habrá que empezar a leer en ingles y dejarse de tonterías.  Sin más preámbulos aquí os dejo la lista de nominados con el premiado marcado en rojo.
