HWA-NY represented at StokerCon 2019, with readings, panels, events, Bram Stoker Award nominations, and even a Stoker win! We made the rookie mistake of splitting the party (after the party, but before the after-party) without taking a photo, and thus our group shot will have to be Photoshopped into accuracy by someone with that actual skill set (volunteers?). In the meantime, you can get a taste here, here, here, here, and here. Congratulations to Ellen Datlow for her win (Superior Achievement in an Anthology)! A list of all this year’s award nominees and winners is up on the Bram Stoker Award site. We’re looking forward to seeing you at StokerCon UK in 2020!
