Homegrown horror-fiction convention the Ghoulish Book Festival is returning for a third year. Scheduled for March 15-17, the gory gathering will feature New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus, two-time Stoker Award nominee Jessica McHugh and Texas-based writer and professor RJ Joseph as guests of honor. If Kraus’ name sounds familiar, it may because he’s collaborated with director Guillermo del Toro on work including the concept for the Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water.
