Braunbeck won the 2013 Bram Stoker Award® for Long Fiction with “The Great Pity”, which appears in CHIRAL MAD 2, published by Written Backwards. He had previously won six other Stoker Awards® for “Duty” (2003), “We Now Pause for Station Identification” (2005), DESTINATIONS UNKNOWN (2006), 5 STROKES TO MIDNIGHT (2007), “Afterward, There Will Be a Hallway” (2007) and TO EACH THEIR DARKNESS (2010).
