Horror Writers of America : ウィキペディア英語版
Horror Writers Association

The Horror Writers Association (HWA) is a worldwide non-profit organization of professional writers and publishing professionals dedicated to promoting the interests of Horror and Dark fantasy writers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.horror.org/joinhwa.htm )〕 It was formed in 1985 with the help of many of the field's greats, including Joe R. Lansdale, Robert McCammon, and Dean Koontz, although it was not formally incorporated until 1987, the year it first gave Bram Stoker Awards. The group was originally called ''HOWL'' (Horror and Occult Writers League), but quickly changed to the ''Horror Writers of America'' when they formally organized.〔http://www.horror.org/aboutus.htm#wiater〕 HWA now has members and regional chapters throughout North America, Europe, Australia, South Africa, Russia, and Asia, which led to the current name of the organization.
One of HWA's mission's is to encourage public interest in and foster an appreciation of quality horror and dark fantasy literature. To that end, HWA offers information on their Web site, they sponsor or take part in occasional public readings and lectures. They also maintain an official presence at many fan-based horror and fantasy conventions, such as the Bram Stoker Awards® Weekend, World Fantasy Convention and the World Horror Convention.
HWA sponsors the annual Bram Stoker Awards for superior achievement in Horror and Dark fantasy. HWA also presents an annual Lifetime Achievement Award to as many as three living people who have made significant contributions to the writing of Horror and Dark fantasy over the course of a lifetime.〔http://www.horror.org/awards/stokers.htm〕 There are also a number of service Awards, including the Specialty Press Award and the Silver Hammer Award.〔http://www.horror.org/awards/hwaawards.htm〕
Since 1990, HWA has produced a series of anthologies edited by a few of the more prestigious members and published in hardcover, mass-market or trade paperback by various publishers. Most have also had signed, limited hardcover editions. These anthologies present new stories by the members of the Horror Writers Association. In addition, in 1997 HWA produced a volume of essays on the craft of horror writing, ''On Writing Horror: A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association'', edited by Mort Castle, with contributions from dozens of well-known HWA members. In 2006, an (updated and revised version ) was issued. Their latest series of anthologies, ''Blood Lite'', collects darkly humorous tales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.horror.org/hwabooks.htm )
