Goingback and Ligotti Win HWA Lifetime Achievement Award

Owl Goingback and Thomas Ligotti will be given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Horror Writers Association (HWA).

The Lifetime Achievement Award is given annually to “individuals whose work has substantially influenced the horror and dark fantasy genres.” The HWA said, “When more than one award winner is determined, the rules require a unanimous vote from all committee members. Thus, the winners were recognized as highly deserving individuals for their work in the horror and dark fantasy field.” The award will be presented during the Bram Stoker Awards at StokerCon UK, to be held at the Royal and Grand Hotels in Scarborough, UK, April 16-19, 2020. For more, see the HWA website.
