Pulpfest Jul 30 - Aug 1 in Columbus Ohio
http://www.pulpfest.com/

PulpFest is a convention for readers and collectors of the old adventure and SF magazines from the 1910s through the 1950s. These stories started the stories of the Shadow, Doc Savage, Conan and of course featured the Cthulhu Mythos stories by H. P. Lovecraft along with a number of other authors who publsihed in Weird Tales. They have a number of seminars on different authors. Although, it is not devtoed totally to horror, there should be a seminar on HPL given by a small press company that has been reprinting stories from that time period.

Also, the dealers room is great and has a large variety of books, magazines, films and artwork. I was there last year and had a great time. If you are looking for a literary themed/collection convention, this is a good one. When I was there last year, I was able to add several Mythos-related items to my collections.

Wrath. When do you expect to list 2010 registered guests? The website still lists 2009's roster.

Why doesn't anybody ever wish to attend the Rock&Shock festival at the DCU center in Worcester Ma.?????
They have a decent amount of horror actor's/actresses, directors, and a few horror authors as well (Jack Ketchum is always there!) Not to mention the horror core metal bands that play in the evening.
I wish some of you guy's would attend. Ed Lee and Wrath James White... COME ON!!!!
