Welcome to the premiere horror literary convention presented by the Horror Writers Association. The 2025 convention will be hosted by the beautiful city of Stamford, Connecticut at the Hilton Stamford Hotel. We’re taking over the city from June 12 to June 15, 2025. StokerCon® has been a long-celebrated convention for authors of the horror genre. It is an all-inclusive event where writers of the horror world’s many subgenres may convene to share ideas, pitch their new projects, and revel in their weirdness. 

HWA was formed in the late 1980’s with the help of many of the field’s greats, including Dean Koontz, Robert McCammon, and Joe Lansdale. Today——with over 1400 members in countries such as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, Germany, Honduras, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Russia, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad, United Kingdom and the United States——it is the oldest and most respected professional organization for the much-loved writers who have brought you the most enjoyable sleepless nights of your life.
