EDITOR'S NOTE: When Fear Zone's Gaming Zone columnist, Michael Louis Calvillo, made the final ballot for a Best First Novel Bram Stoker Award for I WILL RISE, I thought it would be fun to have him report on the Stokers banquet, which was held at World Horror Con in Salt Lake City. Pictured are Michael and M.C. Strand, so named after his now legendary tarot card reading as the event's emcee.
When it comes to conventions, it's all about the parties. Never mind the panels, or workshops or dealers or pitch sessions, everyone forcing smiles and wearing their best business mask, the real convention, the one where personality eclipses etiquette, the one where alcohol is king, the humor bawdy ...

I'm going to break "the fourth wall" and speak directly to you about an event I've helped organize for next week, rather than post a press release as "Deep Throat."
The Buffalo Niagara Film Festival runs from Monday, March 24th thru Saturday, March 29th. But the only day you probably care about is the day I care about: "Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Day," which will be held at the Historic Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda on Thursday, March 27th.
Programming begins at 11:00 AM and runs until 2:00 AM! There will be Special Guests and a small dealers' room. There's never been an actual horror film festival or horror convention in Buffalo; those of us who live here and live for ... (more…)

SLIME CITY, written and directed by Fear Zone editor Greg Lamberson at the tender age of 21, has been selected as the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival's Midnight Movie on Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Day Thursday, March 27th. Lamberson will introduce the film with actor T.J. Merrick (pictured, in a puddle of blood), who played Robert Sabin's best friend in the film.
"Tom was sort of my college roommate at the School of Visual Arts," Lamberson says. "We had tiny, private rooms in a crappy YMCA on 34th street in Manhattan, and we shared a third room for 'studio space.' Jimmy Muro, who directed STREET TRASH, lived there too. Of course, the place is a pricey condo now. Tom actually ... (more…)

Several Zoners/horror authors are appearing at Texas Frightmare Weekend, which actually runs longer than this weekend, in Dallas February 21st - 24th. HEY, THAT'S TOMORROW! I'm no longer excited to see the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD gang doing their 40-year-old reunion thing, but I don't begrudge them the opportunity to make a buck. In any case, our own Gabrielle Faust is covering the event, which features:
Christopher Fullbright (Married to a Zoner!)
Angeline Hawkes (Zoner!)
Lee Thomas (Semi-Zoner!)
Steven E. Wedel (Scary picture on the guests page, Steve! DEFINITELY a Zoner!)
C. Dean Anderson
Deborah LeBlanc

EDITOR'S NOTE: We received this message from the HWA Stoker Chair this morning:
The Stoker Committee and the Stoker Jury have discussed the placement of WITCH'S TRINITY. The book is not a First Novel and was not deliberately misrepresented as such by the author. Some reviews labeled it as a 'debut,' which contributed to the misunderstanding.
After extensive discussions, we've decided that we feel sufficiently strong about the book that we would like to see it moved to the NOVEL category.
Below please find the revised 2007 Stoker Award nominee list.
