Wow, I don't know any of these! I have really not kept up with horror writers... AUDREY'S DOOR sounds pretty cool, though.

This year's winners didn't really grab me as past winners have. Maybe I just have my fingers on the wrong pulse in horror literature...

I love scary movies too. I never knew there were Bram Stoker awards. Very cool!

Being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
