Criteria

Awards are given in each calendar year and books originally published between January 1 and December 31 of that year are eligible. The Horror Writers Association defines a graphic novel as "any trade paperback or hardcover book consisting of work of fiction in comic-book form; the work may be presented in an electronic form as well, provided the total length is equivalent to at least 48 printed pages." The work can be original or a collection of previously published issues, with the publication date of the collection determining eligibility not the individual issues. Only the author or authors of the work receive the award.

Winners and nominees
