Scares That Care AuthorCon

You’ve asked us for many years. Now, it comes true…but with a twist.

A SECOND charity weekend in Williamsburg, VA.

“Scares That Care AuthorCon” April 1st - 3rd, 2022.

A three day convention centered solely on the literary community and written word. At this show you’ll find all the fantastic horror authors that have plagued your nightmares for years, along with horror publishers, artists, comic book and video game writers, and more. No television or film actors will be present, unless they are promoting a book.

Spearheaded by Brian Keene, we hope you’ll join us in this second charity weekend of giving back. Shop our vendors, (yes, the charity weekend is open to ALL vendors), get your books autographed, take in a panel discussion, enjoy a reading or participate in our classes and seminars for horror writers with topics ranging from beginner to advanced. And yes….enjoy the cool, mellow sounds of “Scaryoke,” and browse our silent auction or our STC store!

We hope you’ll join us April 1-3, 2022, Williamsburg, Virginia. Join us in fighting REAL monsters.

Author Guests of Honor will be announced soon.

A Few Very Important Items Of Note For Readers and Creators:

In addition to those Guests of Honor, every single author, publisher, artist and other creator who purchase a vendor table will be listed on the website as ‘Also Appearing’ so that your fans know to find you there. This means that with your purchase of a vendor table, you will automatically be included in programming — panel discussions, readings, workshops, etc.

As the Board Member spearheading this event, my personal goal here is simple — provide readers, fans, authors and publishers with the sort of experience the fabled and much-missed World Horror Convention (a huge annual horror convention that focused on the literary side of the genre, rather than film) used to provide, but in a much more affordable fashion, and further the charity’s goals of helping those in need.
