Gay author posts near-naked selfie after losing award

By Josh Haggis

Author Christopher Rice – son of legendary horror writer Anne Rice – posted a near-naked selfie yesterday (May 10) after he missed out on winning a prestigious Bram Stoker Award for his best-selling book The Heavens Rise.

Shortly before the announcement of the awards, which recognise achievement in dark fantasy and horror writing,  the literary fitty wrote on Facebook that if he didn’t win, he would post a shirtless selfie.

“If I don’t win the Bram Stoker Award tonight expect mad shirtless selfie action in a desperate clawing bid for validation,” said the 36-year-old author.

Rice, who is gay, then made good on his promise after failing to take home a gong. Check him out below.

Better luck next year, Christopher.
