News - Bram Stoker Award 2013

The Horror Writers Association has chosen Robert McCammon and Clive Barker as recipients of this year's Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Acheivement.

The awards will be presented in New Orleans at the Bram Stoker Awards/World Horror Con on the 15th June 2013.

Clive responded as follows:

"The timing of this award is entirely unexpected. It has been a difficult year personally and I am very honored by this and I accept it with great gratitude. It's a lovely thing to get and I'm incredibly moved. Truly. I look back over the list of past winners - Ray Bradbury, Vincent Price, Harlan Ellison, Steve King - and see that I am in unparalleled company, so I'm doubly honored by that. From the bottom of my heart, I thank the Horror Writers Association."

Although Robert McCammon will be a guest at the gala presentation, please note that Clive will not, unfortunately, be able to attend in person to receive the award. His good friend and working partner, Mark Miller, plans to be there on Clive's behalf.
