Back when I was writing, there were organisations for crime and SF writers to join - but horror??? I had to make do with the Society of Authors, where the writers I met started started looking for somebody else to talk to as soon as they found out what sort of books I wrote. So the HWA sounds like Heaven to me - and it's great that the awards are evidently prestigious, as they damn well should be!<br /><br />What was particularly welcome about Grady's book is the recognition it accorded the cover artists of that era - because the quality of their work was often far superior to the books their illustrations adorned (which is why I'm not in the least surprised you collect it).<br /><br />Sorry for the delay in publishing your comment, Darrin - it went AWOL in the digisphere (i.e. some old fool hit the wrong button and failed to notice their error).

The Bram Stoker award going to Grady, Will & Paperbacks From Hell is the big winner of the past weekend & THE one to celebrate for all of us fans, readers, collectors of horror fiction. Thanks for blogging this, Scott! Nick Sharman is proud! <br />Darrin Venticinquenoreply@blogger.com
