The Third Annual Black Quill Awards

One of the newest awards for horror books is the Black Quill Awards. This year saw the Third Annual Black Quill Awards held by Dark Scribe Magazine.

The awards focus on horror fiction and are unique in that there are two awards presented for each category. One is the Editor's Choice Award and the other is the Reader's Choice Award which was determined by open voting by the magazine subscribers.

Below is a list of posts that appeared on my blog. The first eight lists the nominations in each category and the last lists the award winners.

The books in these lists have links to online bookstores in case any of them peak your interest.
