From their press release:

William F. Nolan is a true Renaissance man of literature, having written science fiction (including the immensely popular Logan’s Run series, the first volume of which was co-written with George Clayton Johnson), mysteries, screenplays, and non-fiction, but some of his most outstanding work as an editor and short fiction author has been in the horror genre. His 1984 collection Things Beyond Midnight was first published by Scream Press (and since been reprinted by Babbage Press), and in 2003 Leisure Books published Dark Universe.

As a screenwriter, Nolan co-wrote the legendary television film Trilogy of Terror, a highly-regarded adaptation of The Turn of the Screw (ABC, 1974), and 1976′s Burnt Offerings. In 2002, he was voted a “Living Legend in Dark Fantasy” by the International Horror Guild, and in 2006 he was named Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. Nolan most recently served as editor on the anthology The Bleeding Edge.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is the most prestigious of the Bram Stoker Awards, given by the HWA in acknowledgment of superior achievement not just in a single work but over an entire career. Past Lifetime Achievement Award winners include such noted authors as Stephen King, Anne Rice, Joyce Carol Oates, Ray Bradbury, F. Paul Wilson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and Peter Straub. Winners must have exhibited a profound, positive impact on the fields of horror and dark fantasy, and be at least sixty years of age or have been published for a minimum of thirty-five years.

The LAAs will be presented on March 27, 2010 in conjunction with the World Horror Convention in Brighton, U.K. The convention will take place from March 25-28 at Brighton’s historic Royal Albion Hotel. For more information on the World Horror Convention, please visit their website at www.whc2010.org.

The Horror Writers Association is a worldwide organization promoting dark literature and its creators. Started in 1985, it has over 500 members who are writing professionally in fiction, nonfiction, videogames, films, comics, and other media.

The apocalypse has arrived.

Humanity was decimated by bio-terrorism; three engineered plagues were let loose on the world. Barely anyone has survived.

Just a year before the collapse, Grants Pass, Oregon, USA, was publicly labelled as a place of sanctuary in a whimsical online, “what if” post. Now, it has become one of the last known refuges, and the hope, of mankind.

Would you go to Grants Pass based on the words of someone you’ve never met?

Jennifer Brozek is the creator and co-editor of the Grants Pass anthology (Aug 2009, Morrigan Books). You can purchase a copy at the Morrigan Books website.

The Grants Pass Stories:

“Each story from Grants Pass draws from the same well of emotions and horror as Stephen King’s THE STAND and Robert McCammon’s SWAN SONG. It’ll take you to the darker sides of humanity and yet, at the end of the road, Grants Pass will show you the hope and possibilities of the human spirit.”

– Jason Sizemore, Stoker-nominated editor-in-chief of Apex Book Company and author of Irredeemable.

“This is a unique anthology that deserves attention. You’ll hear echoes of Stephen King’s The Stand, David Brin’s The Postman and even Cormac McCarthy’s The Road as you read this series of stories about the survivors of a great plague. The stories are varied and lively, and their talented authors lead you (sometimes kicking and screaming) toward sanctuary. If you’re reading these words now, dive into these pages, and meet the survivors at Grants Pass.”
— Patrick Swenson, editor of Talebones Magazine.

“Grants Pass is a remarkable, disturbing, and worthwhile read, and one that is likely to stay with the reader for some time to come. I’m predicting that this anthology will be up for a swag of awards come the next round of Aurealis, Ditmar and Australian Shadows nominations.”
– Chuck McKenzie, HorrorScope

He is the author of more than 2000 pieces (fiction, non-fiction, articles and books), and has edited 26 anthologies in his 50+ year career (his latest is as co-editor with Jason V Brock on The Bleeding Edge: Dark Barriers, Dark Frontiers from Cycatrix Press/Dark Discoveries Publications).

Coming in January, 2010 is a comic book series based on Logan’s Run from Vancouver, Washington based publisher Bluewater Productions, who are also working with Nolan on two other series based on his stories and characters.

A new short story collection from Darkwood Press, entitled Dark Dimensions, is also due in 2010.

Adept at poetry and screenwriting as well as fiction, he was co-writer of the screenplay for the 1976 horror film Burnt Offerings, and co-wrote Trilogy of Terror with his friend Richard Matheson, both for Dan Curtis.

An artist, Nolan was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and worked at Hallmark Cards, Inc. before becoming an author.

Of his numerous awards, there are three of which he is most proud: being voted a Living Legend in Dark Fantasy by the International Horror Guild in 2002; twice winning the Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America; and, in 2006, being bestowed with the honorary title of Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc.
