Ranking the 12 Bram Stoker Award winners of Best Horror Novel of the Year that I have read. The Bram Stoker Awards are given out by The Horror Writers Association, so this is a peer-based award, although the association is also comprised of non-writers, professionals involved in publishing in one capacity or the other. It is an international organization, in theory, though it’s mainly a US institution and the books they nominate for the Bram Stoker Awards are overwhelmingly from American authors. Since its inauguration in 1987, there have been 38 winners of Best Horror Novel of the Year. All of which, as far as I know, are from the US.

For me, the award reminds me a bit of the Grammys for music in that they give awards really to the most popular book. They’re not necessarily trying to promote underground authors or books that wouldn’t get much attention otherwise, or the scariest books. They’re celebrating the success of a book more so than its quality or audacious or innovative properties a book might have. But I still follow the awards. I’m curious to know what’s popular and what the horror community is interested in.
