Într-o ceremonie desfășurată în această dimineață (dimineață la noi, în State e seară) în cadrul World Horror Convention 2014 au fost anunțați cîștigătorii premiului Bram Stoker 2013.
Ca o curiozitate, la categoria roman Stephen King a cîștigat în fața lui Joe Hill. Cred că a fost prima oară cînd tată și fiu au concurat pentru un premiu de gen.
