StokerCon 2024: Awards and Banquet

The Stoker Awards banquet and ceremony were both an amazing time. I caught up with Francesca Maria, C.C. Adams, P.M. Raymond, Dennis K. Crosby, Erin E. Adams, L. Marie Wood, Justin C. Key, and my former teacher had a historic win.

Tananarive Due is the first Black author to win a Stoker Award in the novel category. She took home the trophy for The Reformatory. It was an honor to connect with her at such an important and long overdue moment. Stephen King even got in on the action, by retweeting my congratulations post.
