Notes
- The prose-only novel text (Avon, 1999) is what this project registers. The 1997 comic serialization and 1998 illustrated book (both with Charles Vess) are the same story in a different, earlier medium/edition -- not a separate work; Gaiman rewrote it without illustrations for this 1999 edition at his publisher's request. The illustrated Vess edition placed separately in Locus's 1999 Art Book poll category (4th place) -- a different category for a different medium, not double-counted here.
