Welcome to the premiere horror literary convention presented by the Horror Writers Association. The 2025 convention will be hosted by the beautiful city of Stamford, Connecticut, at the Hilton Stamford Hotel. We'll take over the city from June 12 to June 15, 2025. StokerCon® has been a long-celebrated convention for authors of the horror genre. It is an all-inclusive event where writers of the horror world's many subgenres may convene to share ideas, pitch their new projects, and revel in their weirdness. 

At Stoker Con’s Horror University, Mo will be presenting Peele and the Furious Five: A Workshop.

This course delves into the five key elements that make Jordan Peele’s films both visually and narratively groundbreaking. Through the lens of "String Theory," we explore how characters react under pressure and how these moments shift their axis. "Point of View, Point Askew" examines how characters’ perceptions are upended, creating new narrative possibilities. "Family Focus" reveals the impact of generational behaviors on character arcs and outcomes. "Call and Response" analyzes the dynamic interplay between protagonist and antagonist, highlighting audience engagement and investment. Finally, "Boom, Splat!" unpacks the climactic finish, showing how hidden Easter eggs reframe our understanding of the story, offering layered interpretations and endless rewatchability. Gain the tools to analyze and apply Peele’s storytelling techniques, enrich narratives with multidimensional characters and intricate plots, master reader engagement, integrate complex themes, and draft impactful endings that encourage lasting impressions and multiple interpretations.
