Do fantastiky zahrnujeme nejenom vědeckofantastickou a fantasy literaturu, ale také horory. A nebyl by to správný žánr, kdyby v anglofonním světě neměl šanci získat vysoce prestižní ocenění. Stejně jako SF má Huga a Nebulu, Fantasy WFA, tak nejlepší hororová díla vydaná v uplynulém roce mohou získat Cenu Brama Stokera.

Letošní nominace jako obvykle udělila Asociace hororových spisovatelů (Horror Writers Association). Vítězové v jednotlivých kategoriích budou vyhlášeni 31. března 2007 v Torontu. Uvidíme, jestli některá nominovaná díla proniknou na náš trh...
