Dark Fiction writer Jeffrey Wilson, author of The Donors (review here) and friend of RA for All: Horror (click here for his guest post) was kind enough to pass on information about the first ever FANFEST at the International Thriller Writer's Thrillerfest coming in July.
Wilson also has a new supernatural thriller coming out in June, entitled Fade to Black. I will have a review up on that next month. But just a note about Wilson. His brand of supernatural thriller is very popular to a general public library audience. We had great success circulating The Donors last Fall. We even featured it on our new release section of the webpage. He writes compelling story lines with sympathetic characters, who encounter evil supernatural beings, but the good guys come out on top in his books. They have more traditional dark fantasy endings rather than pure horror ones (where it is not unusual these days for the main character to die). This makes Wilson a great choice for people who want to experience a bit of horror, but don't want to be overwhelmed by terror.
See below for details on the contest.
