In the past few years, the Horror Writers Association (Hwa) has been expanding its membership and its reach, getting people interested in the works of both famous and lesser-known horror fiction writers, as well as encouraging aspiring writers. This year is no exception, with Hwa booking a booth for the first time at New York Comic Con. According to Hwa Chairperson James Chambers, they received a wonderful response. Numerous people gathered information from Hwa on new horror releases, upcoming author events and more. Despite horror growing in popularity over the years – with shows like American Horror Story, The Walking Dead and Supernatural dominating even among people that don't consider themselves fans of the genre – organizations like Hwa find that fans often don't know where or how to find horror books by authors who aren't as well-known as Stephen King.

The Engines Of Sacrifice by James Chambers
(Dark Regions Press)
In hidden places, they sleep and dream, and through their dreams they touch humanity — but their touch brings only the stains of horror, death, and madness…until the day the Old Ones return.
In the Engines of Sacrifice, acclaimed writer James Chamber delivers four nightmare novellas inspired by the Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft.
Investigation 37: In the late years of the Vietnam War, Lavender May runs away from home to search for freedom and peace in New York City, but instead, she finds only a world of magic, witchcraft, and lies.
The Ugly Birds: Only one thing could save Carmin Darabon’s comics magazine from going under: publishing the next chapter of the hit series “The Otherworlders.” But what dark secret drives its creator –Carmine’s ex-finance’ — to refuse to deliver it?
The Hidden Room: At the height of the Cold War,...

Anything by Lucy Mangan, because of the hooting hilarity that invariably ensues (Wookey Hole wants to hire a witch. Well, I can cackle ... G2 shortcuts, 9 July) – Sadie Clifford, Stockport
The greatest named place in Britain is inviting applicants for possibly the country's greatest job – to become the modern-day counterpart to the legendary witch of Wookey Hole.
The Somerset caves have long been home to a witch turned to stone in the middle ages by a Benedictine monk with a flair for that kind of thing called Father Bernard. Now, however, the popular tourist attraction is in need of someone with a wider skill set than that possessed by the average vaguely person-shaped rocky outcropping, and is advertising for a living witch to take up residence in the caves at weekends,...
