This year’s Stoker Awards nomination period is now open.

Complete Stoker rules for 2012 are available on the HWA website [PDF link]. Nominations close January 15.

To assist you in finding material to nominate, I’ve assembled this post to list everything that I worked on in 2012.

• All of Nightmare‘s original fiction from 2012 is available online (and also much of the 2012 original fiction is available as a podcast).
• All of Lightspeed‘s original fiction from 2012 is also available online (and also much of the 2012 original fiction is available as a podcast).

If you are an HWA member, you may email me to request copies of all of the stories listed here in either doc, pdf, mobi, or epub format.

After the jump, you’ll find all of the 2012 eligible stories/authors that either appeared in Lightspeed or Nightmare. Since Lightspeed publishes science fiction/fantasy primarily, I’ve only noted the stories here that lean toward horror/dark fantasy. (For a full list of my 2012 materials, see my Nebula Awards nominations post.)
