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,
Stephen Jones, Allen Koszowski, Tim Lebbon, Brian Lumley, Dorothy
Lumley, L.H. Maynard & M.P.N. Sims, Gary McMahon, Farah Mendlesohn,

Richards, David A. Riley, Robert Shearman, Michael Marshall Smith,

F. Paul Wilson, amongst many others.
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.
