# British Fantasy Awards Books

The British Fantasy Awards are presented by the British Fantasy Society. This site tracks the Robert Holdstock Award for Best Fantasy Novel, the novel-length category for fiction first published in English during the relevant year. Keeping this page focused on the novel category makes the data comparable with the other book-length award pages in the browser while preserving the award family's fantasy emphasis and its place in UK genre publishing. The route avoids annual ceremony details and uses only stable award context.
