We want to congratulate Ohio author Gary A. Braunbeck on netting not one but two well-deserved Bram Stoker awards this year.
His story “Afterward, There Will be a Hallway” which appeared in Five Strokes to Midnight won Superior Achievement in Long Fiction. Then the anthology Five Strokes to Midnight which he co-edited with Hank Schwaeble won Superior Achievement in an Anthology.
Thirteen stories.
One Witching Hour.
No escape.
Five Strokes to Midnight.
Pray for the light.
