Bram Stoker Awards

Christchurch City Libraries lists literary prize winners and links to catalogue searches, but we may not hold copies of all titles mentioned.

Each year, the Horror Writers Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement, named in honour of Bram Stoker, author of the seminal horror work, Dracula.

The Stokers are given ‘for superior achievement’, not for ‘best of the year’. Like the Oscars, they are non-juried awards. Any work of horror first published in the English language may be considered for a Stoker during the year of its publication.

See the Horror Writers Association for more information and for further award categories.
