The 2007 Bram Stoker Award Winners

I watched the Stoker Awards ceremony until the feed stopped — in the middle of the anthology award — and I had to switch to the audio only feature. I also used the Horror Fiction News Network to make sure I stayed on top of things. The live internet feed had problems — everybody was cloaked in shadows and the feed ended abruptly — but it was a grand experiment, it was fun while it lasted and I look forward to next year’s broadcast.

What’s New for March

March 1, 2008

Each month I list the new booklists that have been added to my website . . . With Intent to Commit Horror. This month my energies were redirected to replacing a ton of book cover images that suddenly disappeared. I haven’t finished this task yet.
