I invited writers who made Amazon's SF/F Top 10 for 2008 to send me their own year's best list. The latest, from J.M. McDermott, is now up on the Amazon book blog. It's a function of genre being a small pond that two anthologies I co-edited with Ann are on the list. Sometimes there's no getting away from that kind of interconnectivity, and it's always hard to know how to deal with it. But it also balances out: despite being on Amazon's top 10 list several times in the past, I am not eligible to be on it so long as I do work for their blog.I've also reproduced his list below, without his annotations. What would you add to it? What do you disagree (politely) with?1 - The Man on the Ceiling by Steve Rasnic Tem and Melanie Tem2 - The Shadow Year by Jeffrey Ford3 - The New Weird edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer4 - Liberation by Brian Francis Slattery5 - Thunderer by Felix Gilman6 - The Houses of Time by Jamil Nasir7 - Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link8 - Shadowbridge/Lord Tophet by Gregory Frost9 - The Magician and the Fool by Barth Anderson10 - Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlowe11 - Implied Spaces by Walter John Williams12 - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman13 - Steampunk by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer14 - The Resurrectionist by Jack O'Connell15 - The Alchemy of Stone by Ekaterina Sedia
