Just a reminder that the deadline for advertising in the publications of the World Horror Convention 2010 in Brighton is January 1st.  If you need information, you can go to the website at http://www.whc2010.org, or e-mail Robert Garcia at garpubserv@aol.com for an ad rate booklet. Please contact him immediately if you plan on advertising.

The good folks at Concatenation have posted a helpful and informative article for visitors to the UK, including info about Heathrow Airport, getting around London and even an English to English translation guide. Read it HERE.

PLEASE NOTE: There are reportedly a number of factual errors in this article with regard to WHC2010. For ANY information about the World Horror Convention 2010, please refer to http://www.whc2010.org.

We are pleased to let you know that Progress Report #2 will be mailed to all registered members of the convention in November.

The 20-page booklet not only includes updated information about Hotel Bookings, Flying to Brighton, Programming, Book Launches, the Reading Café, the Creative Writing Workshops, the Dealers’ Room, the HWA Bram Stoker Awards Banquet, news about our exciting “Pitch Black” genre Rights Fair and much more, but it also contains details of our very competitive Advertising Rates for Progress Report #3, the hardcover Souvenir Book and the Pocket Programme. This information can also now be found on our website at: www.whc2010.org/ad-rates-pr01.html.

PR#2 also features details about putting material into the Delegate Bags, which will be free for those sponsors taking advertising with the convention or hosting events.

However, please note that as of now, WE HAVE FEWER THAN 100 MEMBERSHIPS REMAINING. Unless we do not sell out (which is seeming very unlikely), then there will be NO Day or At-the-Door Memberships. Once we have reached the maximum number of people we can comfortably and safely accommodate, then we will have no choice but to close the registration process. So if you are still thinking about joining, then you should ensure you do so before we sell out.

And please don’t forget to vote for the Grand Master Award. If you have not already, either mail in the ballot form contained in Progress Report #1 or vote online at: www.whc2010.org/gmvote01.html A list of past recipients—who have included Stephen King, Dean R. Koontz, Anne Rice, Ray Bradbury, Clive Barker, Peter Straub, Brian Lumley, Ramsey Campbell and Tanith Lee—is displayed on the same page.
