World Fantasy Award, Nominees and Winners, Novel, 1975-2020

This lists all winners of and nominees for the World Fantasy Award for novel, from 1975 to 2020. Since its inception, I haven't always agreed with the choice of winner, but the winners and nominees that I've read I've usually enjoyed, and I've used the WFA nominees as a reading list off and on over the years.
