International Horror Guild Award Nominees Announced
The International Horror Guild has announced the finalists
for its annual awards recognizing
outstanding achievements in the field of horror and dark
fantasy from the year 2001. The awards will be presented
during the World Horror Convention, April 11-14, 2002
at the Radisson O'Hare
near Chicago, IL.
The International Horror Guild has named prolific multi-genre author
William F. Nolan as this year's Living Legend Award winner.
IHG Living Legends are individuals who have made a meritorious and notable
contribution and/or have substantially influenced the field of
horror/dark fantasy. Previous recipients are Alice Cooper, Ray
Bradbury, Clive Barker, Hugh B. Cave, Edward W. Bryant, Richard
Matheson, and Harlan Ellison.
William F. Nolan is best known as the co-author (with George Clayton
Johnson) of Logan's Run -- a dark science fiction novel that went on
to become part of popular culture as a movie, a television series, a
comic and is about to become a movie again -- and as single author of
its sequels. But it is primarily as a short fiction writer for over
50 years that Nolan has helped craft modern horror. Joe R. Lansdale
has called him "one of the greats of the horror-suspense field."
Stephen King has acknowledged Nolan as "an expert in the art and
science of scaring the hell out of people." Ray Bradbury has spoken
of Nolan's ability "to create an atmosphere of ultimate terror."
