The Horror Writer’s Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards, named in honor of Bram Stoker, author of Dracula. The awards are given “for superior achievement”, and any work of horror first published in the English language may be considered for an award during the year of its publication.

The Heathens #4 & #5

“Death is not the end for those that are already dead.”

The penultimate issue of The Heathens dropped a day before Russia invaded Ukraine, and it's needless to say the war news got me distracted. Over 50 days later, the war isn't over and the horrifying events and war crimes make me sick and angry every day. 

But while seeing all the bad in the world, I also try to see all the good, and I hope The Heathens has brought joy to our readers' lives.

The final issue of the series hit the shelves at the end of March, and here's finally a little preview of both issue #4 and issue #5.
