VERMILLION — Huron native and University of South Dakota alumnus Doug Murano has won one of the highest honors in the horror-writing field. A Bram Stoker Award for editing the anthology “Behold! Oddities, Curiosities and Undefinable Wonders,” at the Horror Writers Association’s annual StokerCon meeting in March.
Ever since Murano read Stephen King’s novel “It” when he was 11 years old. “I was probably too young,” he admits, the USD alumnus was enthralled by horror fiction.
“I have dreamed about what it would be like to win a Bram Stoker Award for 20 years,” Murano said in an interview after his 4,000-mile round-trip drive from the Rushmore State to Rhode Island and back. “I was born and raised in South Dakota and always felt somewhat distant from the world where people do things like this. Now, here I am.”
