The winners of the World Fantasy Life Achievement Awards have been announced ahead of the awards’ presentation at the awards banquet at World Fantasy Convention 36, to be held 28 through 31 October in Columbus, Ohio.
There are three honorees this year, including Brian Lumley, Terry Pratchett and Peter Straub. The three writers are being honored for their outstanding service to the fantasy field.
