FIRECRACKER ALTERNATIVE BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 1996-2002

The Firecracker Alternative Book Awards were started in 1996 by a group of book industry professionals to celebrate and publicize the best in alternative publishing - or, in the words of the FAB founders, "books that shove a firecracker down the shorts of the mainstream." In 2000, awards were made for Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Sex, Drugs, Music, Art/Photo, Graphic Novel, Kids and for Special Recognition/Wildcard Categories. The following list shows the winning novelists and their novels.
