The Bram Stoker Awards are the horror equivalent of the Nebulas, voted by members of the professional Horror Writer's Association. They are notable for being awarded "for superior achievement" — not for "best" of the year.

Full Name Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement

First year given 1988, for works published in 1987

Who Horror Writers Association

What The award is an 8-inch sculpture of a fanciful haunted house, designed by Steven Kirk

Where & When At the annual Stoker Awards banquet.

Eligibility period Year prior to award

Type ballot

Process HWA members recommend works throughout the year; a preliminary ballot is compiled based on the recommendations; a first round of voting determines a final ballot; a second round of voting determines winners.

Comments The listings here include HWA's Specialty Press Award which, though also given by the Horror Writers Association, is technically not a category of the Bram Stoker Awards.
