Each year, the Horror Writers Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement, named in honor of Bram Stoker, author of the seminal horror work, DRACULA. The first awards were presented in 1988 (for works published in 1987), and they have been presented every year since. The Stokers are given "for superior achievement" --- not for "best of the year" --- and are non-juried.
