Since this is the genre Paul and I usually choose to work within, I thought you might be interested in the upcoming World Horror Convention. Here’s some recent news:

For the first time in its seventeen-year history, The World Horror Convention is being held outside the United States. With a theme exploring “The Diversity of Horror”, World Horror Convention 2007 will take place over March 29-April 1 at the Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre, located in the heart of Toronto, Canada.

Guests of Honour at World Horror Convention 2007 include British writer Michael Marshall Smith, the multiple award-winning author of such novels as Spares, Only Forward, One of Us, and the best-selling The Straw Men trilogy; Montreal-based author Nancy Kilpatrick, whose books include novels Near Death, Child of The Night, Jason X: Planet of The Beast and The Goth Bible: A Compedium For The Darkly Inclined; Chesley Award and World Fantasy Award-winning American illustrator John Picacio; British writer/editor/publisher Peter Crowther and Toronto editor and pulp magazine authority Don Hutchison.
