[ominous music] Good evening, children of the night, and welcome.

This is your host, Douglas Gwillim, creeping into your earbuds with questionable intent.

StokerCon 2026 is coming to my hometown of Pittsburgh, a place that is as Silence of the Lambs as it is Dawn of the Dead.

Seriously, I've been in bands with a zombie.

Hey, Bob.

StokerCon includes the 40th Bram Stoker Awards ceremony this year, and we at Tales to Terrify are pleased to continue the tradition of featuring the stories that were nominated.
