NecronomiCon

NecronomiCon is a convention about science fiction and horror, especially cosmic horror, the convention is held biannually (every two years).
It was founded in 1982, and became a biannual event held on or around Halloween (31 October). It usually features two or more recognised science fiction authors as guests.
A "Robert Bloch Award", shaped like the Shining Trapezohedron, is also attributed during the convention.
