Welcome to the premiere horror literary convention presented by the Horror Writers Association. Registration for StokerCon 2025 is now available! This year the convention is being hosted by the city of Stamford, Connecticut, at the Hilton Stamford Hotel and Executive Meeting Center. We’re taking over from June 12th through the 15th, 2025.

This is a separately ticketed event. Tickets may be purchased through the Registration portal. Click Get Tickets and scroll down to options labeled "Horror University" or "HU."

We'll discuss how to use personal trauma to create work that emotionally resonates. We'll discuss works that do this well, and afterward attendees will participate in a short brainstorming/writing session that will give them a concrete idea to pursue. Q&A will follow.

They call me Miss Murder. I'm a two-time Bram Stoker Award-Winner in Long Fiction and Short Fiction, and a finalist in Anthology, Fiction Collection, and Short Fiction. I bake voodoo doll cookies and make darling little quilts with skulls on them.
