"Is it really old?" is a common question (the answer: no, we bought it new just a few years ago).

Did you know that horror literature has its own version of the Oscar? That's right - the Bram Stoker Award is given out every year in eleven categories.
First presented by the Horror Writers Association in 1988, the winners are announced each year at a gala awards banquet held in a different city. The awards have been presented in locations as diverse as Brighton, England, Toronto, Canada, and (last year) Las Vegas, Nevada...but this year they'll be held in nearby Long Beach, aboard the historic Queen Mary.
Taking place April 27-April 30, the Stoker Awards presentation is part of a larger event called StokerCon. The weekend will include guests like George R. R. Martin, Chuck Wendig, Elizabeth Hand, Tananarive Due, and many more. StokerCon will also include panels, special activities for librarians, an academic conference, workshops for writers, and a film competition. And hopefully the awards presenters won't get the wrong envelopes!
