Bram Stoker Awards: nominacije za najbolja ostvarenja u 2024. godini

Bram Stoker nagrada predstavlja iznimno dostignuće u svijetu horora. Od 1987. godine dodjeljuje je “The Horror Writers Association”. Nagrada nosi ime po autoru Drakule, a neki od uglednih dobitnika u prošlosti bili su Clive Barker, Robert Bloch, Ellen Datlow, Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Stephen King i Joyce Carol Oates. Dobitnici će biti objavljeni na StokerConu, koji se ove godine održava u Stamfordu, u Connecticutu.
