Preliminary Bram Stoker Ballot, 2018
We’re excited that two of our books have been included on the preliminary ballot for the Bram Stoker Awards. WITCHES by Donna Lynch, illustrated by Steven Archer is in the poetry collection category and GARDEN OF ELDRITCH DELIGHTS is in the short story collection category. While being on the preliminary ballot is not a nomination it is still a distinction and we are always proud to have our works considered. The complete preliminary ballott is posted below.
We were also excited to see Lee Murray (co-author of The Path of Ra series) on the ballot in the short story category and the anthology category as an editor.
If you’d like to get an idea of what GARDENS OF ELDRITCH DELIGHTS is like, we have a preview sample posted here.
Below are a few sample pages from WITCHES:
