Comments: In 1993 Dan Simmons won the Best Horror or Dark Fantasy Novel category for the second year in a row with Children of the Night following up his 1992 win for Summer of Night. This came on the heels of his 1990 and 1991 wins for Best Science Fiction Novel for Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion. This is a rare feat as not only did Simmons win back to back Locus awards, he did it twice, in two different categories. No matter how one looks at this accomplishment, it is definitely impressive and places Simmons in a very select category of writers.
