Each year the Horror Writers Association awards the Bram Stoker Award to horror fiction published in the previous year in multiple categories (best novel, first novel, short story, anthology, collection etc.). This is a prestigious award and this year, for the first time ever, the award ceremony is being broadcast through the internet to those of us unable to attend.
The broadcast is tonight (Saturday March 29, 2008) at 11:00pm Eastern Standard Time (at 9:00 Salt Lake City, Utah time - which is where the awards are being held)
Before the awards go to http://www.iscifi.tv/live/ to download the latest Shockwave Flash browser plug-in to make sure your computer is up-to-date and ready to roll. Then at 11:00, return to http://www.iscifi.tv/live/ to watch the festivities.
If watching a Flash production on your computer isn't your bag, you can check out Horror Fiction News Network's live blogging of the awards ceremony and find out who won in "real time".
To get a list of the nominees (so you can decide who to root for), check out the HWA's website.
I want to give a big "Thank you" to Gary A. Braunbeck for the tip about the iScifi broadcast and another big "Thank you" to Paul Puglisi and HFNN for posting the Stoker Awards again this year.
