Grant won a World Fantasy Award for his Novella collection ''Nightmare Seasons'', a Nebula Award in 1976 for his short story "A Crowd of Shadows", and another Nebula Award in 1978 for his novella "A Glow of Candles, a Unicorn's Eye," the latter telling of an actor's dilemma in a post-literate future. Grant also edited the award winning Shadows Anthology , running eleven volumes from 1978-1991. Contributors include Stephen King , Ramsey Campbell , R.A. Lafferty , Avram Davidson , and Steve Rasnic and Melanie Tem . Grant was a former Executive Secretary and Eastern Regional Director of the Science Fiction And Fantasy Writers Of America and president of the Horror Writers Association . Grant wrote 11 books (8 novels and three collections of four related novellas with interstitial material) set in the fictional Connecticut town of Oxrun Station.
