The 1996 Bram Stoker Award was given in 1997 for literature from the previous year in seven categories. At the award ceremony, exceptional contributions to horror literature are honored every year. The Bram Stoker Award has been presented since 1987, and the winners are chosen by election by the members of the Horror Writers Association (HWA).
In 1996, as in the previous year, prizes were awarded in the established seven categories, including non-fiction. Thomas Ligotti won the award in two categories, once for his novella The Red Tower and for the anthology The Nightmare Factory . Owl Goingback was nominated for his novel Crota in both the category and for the first work, and was awarded the latter.
