I was very proud to see so many friends listed on the recently announced 2023 Bram Stoker Award preliminary ballot. It’s going to be an especially excellent group of finalists no matter what the ultimate outcome, that’s for sure.

Courtesy of the Horror Writers Association, the preliminary ballot can be read in its entirety here.

I want to extend special congrats to those authors I know personally and/or have collaborated with in the past: Rebecca Rowland, Christi Nogle, Gordon B. White, Sadie Hartmann, and Robert P. Ottone. Good luck, everyone!

The preliminary ballot goes out to all HWA Lifetime and Active members on Feb. 1. Get ready to vote!
