Here are the winners of the 2020 Bram Stoker Awards.
Last week in a virtual ceremony at StokerCon, the Horror Writers Association announced the winners of this year’s Bram Stoker Award, which is named after Dracula author Bram Stoker and honors “superior achievement” in horror and dark fiction published in the last year. The winners were chosen from a pool of 62 finalists and received an eight-inch replica of a haunted house, with a door that opens to reveal a brass plaque engraved with the name of the winning work and its author.
