At a gala event on April 29, the 2016 Bram Stoker Awards were held at the StokerCon 2017 event. Given the last round of DC Writers Workshop inductees included a Stoker Award winner, and the awards feature a Graphic Novels category, we figured we'd share the winners of the dark fantasy and horror writing awards.

It is also worth noting that in the graphic novels category, the books nominated and winning credit the writers only and give no credit to the artists involved. Because I guess some things never change.
