2018 Bram Stoker Award Winners

Each year the Horror Writer’s Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement, named in honor of Bram Stoker, author of the seminal horror work, Dracula. The Bram Stoker Awards were instituted immediately after the organization’s incorporation in 1987. The 2018 Bram Stoker Award winners were announced May 11, 2019, at StokerCon.
