Bram Stoker Award Winners

Submitted by Jennifer N [1] on Tue, 11/06/2012 - 3:36pm

Every year, the Horror Writer's Association [2] presents the Bram Stoker Awards [3]. The criteria is based on superior works rather than the most popular titles. The 2011 Bram Stoker Award winners were announced in March of this year and we are now starting to get titles in our catalog. The 2011 Novel winner, Flesh Eaters [4]by Joe McKinney, I'm particularly looking forward to reading as it's based in our very own Houston, Texas.

Listed below are some of the 2011 Bram Stoker Award winners I plan on checking out and hopefully you will too!

Flesh Eaters [4] by Joe McKinney

Demons: Encounters with the Devil and his Minions, Fallen Angels and the Possessed [5] edited by John Skipp

The Screaming Season [6] by Nancy Holder

Dust and Decay [7] by Jonathan Maberry

The Corn Maiden and Other Nightmares [8] by Joyce Carol Oates

For a complete list of the 2011 Bram Stoker Award Winners, please check the Horror Writer's Association website [9]. They've also compiled a 2012 Reading List [10]for horror lovers. I can't wait to get started on that list!
