Comments: I don't really have much that I can say about the 1994 World Fantasy Awards. Charles de Lint received two nominations, but that was par for the course for him by now. Neil Gaiman also received two nominations, which would shortly become par for the course for him as well.
But as I have read none of the winning works, and precious few of the other nominees, exacerbated by the fact that I have not even read any other fiction by the winners, there isn't really a whole lot of useful commentary that I can give about the field as a whole, or the results specifically.
