[SKRIVA] World Horror Con i England nästa år

(Info från en annan lista. -AE)

 

Celebrating its 20th Anniversary, The World Horror Convention will be 
held over March 25-28, 2010, in the historic Regency seaside city of 
Brighton, on the picturesque south coast of England. This is the 
first time that the event will have been held off the North American 
continent.

The theme is "Brighton Shock! - A Celebration of the European Horror 
Tradition from Victorian Times to the Present Day", and the 
convention will host numerous panels, talks, presentations, readings, 
workshops and displays devoted to horror, macabre, mystery and 
thriller fiction and art in all its varied and fearsome forms.

The venue will be the historic Royal Albion Hotel, which dates back 
more than 180 years and is situated directly opposite Brighton's 
iconic Palace Pier and a stone's throw from the beach. There are 
plenty of alternative hotels and Bed & Breakfasts in the immediate 
surroundings, catering for all budgets, and Brighton is filled with 
restaurants, wine bars and clubs. Antiquarian shopping precinct The 
Lanes, the Sea Life Centre and the world-famous Royal Pavilion are 
also within easy walking distance.

Other writers, artists, agents, editors and publishers already 
registered as attending World Horror Convention 2010 include: Edward 
W. Bryant Jr., Pat Cadigan, Ramsey Campbell, Peter Crowther, Ellen 
Datlow, Christopher Fowler, Gary Fry, Simon R. Green, John Jarrold,

Brighton has direct transport links from Gatwick International 
Airport and the centre of London, and is easily accessible for 
overseas visitors, especially those from mainland Europe. And if you 
want to extend your stay, then Britain's annual National Science 
Fiction Convention, Odyssey 2010, is being organised near to Heathrow 
airport the following weekend. Come for World Horror and stay for 
Eastercon!

The World Horror Convention's Grand Master Award will be presented at 
a sit-down Banquet during the weekend. Past recipients have included 
Stephen King, Dean R. Koontz, Anne Rice, Ray Bradbury, Clive Barker, 
Peter Straub, Brian Lumley and Ramsey Campbell.
