Announcing the 5th Annual StokerCon Librarians' Day Schedule of Events - 156

We’re thrilled to announce the programming lineup for StokerCon’s Librarians’ Day, in partnership with the Horror Writers Association!

All Librarians’ Day programming will take place on Friday, May 21, 2021, 10am–7pm EST. Please note that tickets to StokerCon are all-in-one–your $75 purchase gets you access to the entirety of StokerCon 2021, not just Librarians’ Day! Keep your eyes peeled (not literally–or, hey, maybe literally; this is horror, after all) for the rest of the StokerCon programming to be announced next month. And it’s all virtual this year: no travel required!

And we’re especially excited here at Nightfire that a number of our authors and writers will join and moderate panels this year, including Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Ally Russell, Sadie Hartmann, Gabino Iglesias, and Emily Hughes (that’s me!).

Check out the lineup below, and start getting excited–it’s gonna be a scary good time.
