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.
This year's winner for best novel is The Missing by Sarah Langan. Publisher's Weekly called her novel a "creepfest that recalls...the early work of Stephen King." An environmental catastrophe destroys the blue collar town of Bedford. On a school field trip to the abandoned town, an ancient horror is unearthed: a contagious plague that transforms its victims into something violent, hungry, and inhuman.
Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box won for best first novel. See my previous review, or lack of review, because I was too creeped out to finish the book.
