The 2005 Bram Stoker Awards honoring horror-related writing published or released in the year prior were presented by The Horror Writers Association June 25 in Burbank, CA. Past winners have included the likes of Stephen King, Peter Straub, and David Morrell. The first president of the association was none other than Dean R. Koontz, and the current one is the celebrated novelist Joseph Nassise.
Throughout the weekend, there were a number of informative workshops held, and several readings, one of the most popular and well-attended was Chuck Palahniuk reading from his newest novel, Haunted. Toastmaster David Morrell gave a two-hour workshop on the secrets of successful writing, and between the panels and the awards presentation, there was a mass book signing held at the Dark Delicacies Bookstore.
Our own Staci Layne Wilson was on hand at the bookstore and the awards ceremony - here are the videos & all the frightening details:
