The Horror Writers Association dissolved its Executive Director position on September 2, 2026, ending Maxwell Ian Gold’s tenure following the most turbulent month in the organization’s history — beginning with the removal of trustee Sèphera Girón for criticizing the AI witch hunt culture, continuing through a collapsed presidential election, the revelation that the HWA’s confidential Grievance Committee was run by a former Trump judicial nominee with a unanimous “Not Qualified” ABA rating and documented statements defending early KKK activity, a formal complaint from Creepaway Camp over alleged coercion by Gold, a former HWA president’s public account of gaslighting and domestic abuse patterns in her interactions with Gold, and the disclosure that Gold received $98,642 in the fiscal year ending February 2025. Fandom Pulse covered every development as it broke. This is the complete account.
