As posted by HWA president Rocky Wood on Facebook:
Last night Stephen King won the Novel Award for 'Doctor Sleep' at the Horror Writers Association's annual Bram Stoker Awards (R) banquet in Portland, Oregon (beating out Joe Hill's NOS4A2).
Because King could not attend Rocky Wood had the honor of accepting on king's behalf. King's acceptance speech was read out: 'I'm delighted to have won this award and want to thank everyone who voted for my book. Deciding to write a sequel to The Shining was a scary idea in itself, and while I was working on it, I kept telling myself I was crazy, and no one would like it. I'm glad I was wrong. Thanks again for this affirmation.'
