Amazon's editors' picks for the best Science Fiction and Fantasy published in 2009:
- Palimpsest by Catherynne Valente (Spectra)
- The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan (Roc)
- The Other Lands (Acacia, Book 2) by David Anthony Durham (Doubleday)
- American Fantastic Tales (Boxed Set) edited by Peter Straub (Library of America)
- Boneshaker by Cherie Priest (Tor Books)
- The Other City by Michal Ajvaz (Dalkey Archive Pr)

- Interfictions 2: An Anthology of Interstitial Writing edited by Delia Sherman (Small Beer Press)

Amazon calls this list "editors' picks." The plural is a bit misleading since this list was compiled by noted author and anthologist Jeff VanderMeer for Amazon. This is a diverse and interesting list, and includes a couple of authors who are completely new to me, which is a delight. It has pointed me toward some books I might not have picked up.
