The Stoker Awards

Superior Achievement in a Novel
THE MISSING by Sarah Langan (Harper)

Superior Achievement in a First Novel
HEART-SHAPED BOX by Joe Hill (William Morrow)

Superior Achievement in Long Fiction
AFTERWARD, THERE WILL BE A HALLWAY by Gary Braunbeck (Five Strokes to Midnight)

Superior Achievement in Short Fiction
THE GENTLE BRUSH OF WINGS by David Niall Wilson (Defining Moments)

Superior Achievement in an Anthology
FIVE STROKES TO MIDNIGHT edited by Gary Braunbeck and Hank Schwaeble (Haunted Pelican Press)

Superior Achievement in a Collection
PROVERBS FOR MONSTERS by Michael A. Arnzen (Dark Regions Press) and
5 STORIES by Peter Straub (Borderlands)

Superior Achievement in Nonfiction
THE CRYPTOPEDIA: A Dictionary of the Weird, Strange & Downright Bizarre by Jonathan Maberry & David F. Kramer
(Citadel Press / Kensington)

Superior Achievement in Poetry
BEING FULL OF LIGHT, INSUBSTANTIAL by Linda Addison (Space and Time) and
VECTORS: A WEEK IN THE DEATH OF A PLANET by Charlee Jacob & Marge Simon (Dark Regions Press)


To answer the perennial question: there are lots of ties because the voting is designed to encourage them. The Stokers do not award for the "best" of a category, but for "superior achievement" of which there is likely to be more than one example. (Nominees are examples of "outstanding achievement" according to the certificate.)

[Brasidas]

For once, an award that is actually very fitting - Moorcock has indeed given a lifetime's work; I think he is still a little underrated because of the sheer volume of his work.

Interesting that they're treating the Connie Willis books as one entry. Granted that she wrote them intending that they be one book, but they were published separately. (Those are the only two I've read from that whole list....)

Arthur C Clarke Award 2011

Zoo City by Lauren Beukes has been declared the best science fiction novel of the year and the 25th winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award.

Published by Angry Robot Books, the novel is set in an alternate modern Johannesburg where psychic criminal guilt can take physical animal form and has been described as “Jeff Noon crossed with Raymond Chandler” and a novel that “sinks its claws into you.”

The Arthur C. Clarke Award is presented for best science fiction novel of the year and selected from a list of novels whose UK first edition was published in the previous calendar year.
