The Bram Stoker Awards Announced on YouTube 4/18

Next week was supposed to be StokerCon UK [it's been moved to August] and during that event, the Bram Stoker Awards were to be announced on Saturday April, 18th. Well, due to the hard work of the Horror Writers Association Stoker Awards Team and our President, John Palisano, the Awards are still happening online.

In fact, the awards are going to be an all day event now with readings by the nominees going up throughout the day. Right now there are also interviews with some of the nominees available to watch immediately.

This will be an excellent way for library workers to familiar themselves with the current state of the genre.

But, since I know very well that many of you are a bit far behind in your horror knowledge, I have even more to help you. I will be presenting my brand new program-- Horror Readers' Advisory: How to Help Your Scariest Patrons-- Thursday, April 16th at 1pm central. Anyone can view the live webinar, but the recording will only be available to Reaching Across Illinois Library System members [RAILS]. You can click here to sign up. I will have my live slides available for viewing on Thursday.

I scheduled this webinar on purpose to happen just before the Bram Stoker Awards to help you get yourselves ready.

Please mark your calendars for next week to get yourselves in genre shape-- horror style.

I mean, it is perfect timing as we are almost exactly halfway to Halloween!
