2011 Stoker Awards (Video)
Gothic.net was happy so many friends of the site were nominated for Stoker Awards this year. Due to the wonders of the internet, without going to Utah for the weekend, you can see the ceremony (but not the debauched afterparties) in the archived webcast from World Horror.
Each year, the Horror Writers Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards™ for Superior Achievement in the field of horror writing, named in honor of Bram Stoker, author of the seminal horror work Dracula. Since 1987, the approximately 700 members of the HWA have recommended, nominated and voted on the greatest works of horror and dark fantasy of the previous calendar year, making the Bram Stoker Awards™ the most prestigious award in the field of horror literature. For the first time in 2011, half the nominees were chosen by juries.
The awards are presented in eleven categories: Novel, First Novel, Young Adult Novel, Graphic Novel, Long Fiction, Short Fiction, Screenplay, Fiction Collection, Anthology, Non-fiction, and Poetry Collection. The organization’s Active and Lifetime members will select the winners from this list of nominees; and the Awards will be presented at a gala banquet on Saturday evening, March 31, at the World Horror Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The awards will also be webcast live beginning at 9 p.m. (Mountain Time Zone) on the evening of March 31st.
