Bram Stoker Novel Award for Horror

The Horror Writer's Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards, named in honor of the author of Dracula. The award itself is an eight-inch replica of a fanciful haunted house, designed specifically for HWA by sculptor Steven Kirk. The door of the house opens to reveal a brass plaque engraved with the name of the winning work and its author. Beginning with works published in 2001, the awards are presented in eleven other categories besides the Novel winners listed here: First Novel, Short Fiction, Long Fiction, Fiction Collection, Poetry Collection, Anthology, Nonfiction, Illustrated Narrative, Screenplay, Work for Young Readers, and Alternative Forms. In addition, Lifetime Achievement Stokers are occasionally presented to individuals.
