Robert Holdstock R.I.P.

Robert Holdstock died this morning, aged only 61. He had been in intensive care with a severe E.coli infection for eleven days.

I met him once, when he was GOH at Fantasycon in 2004. He seemed a very nice guy.

Mythago Wood is one of those classic fantasy novels that I keep meaning to read and never have. How about it for a future book study?

RIP. It's a shame I never hear about some of these authors until tragedy strikes

As for the book, sounds like a good nomination to me.

A writer of original fantasies - one of the few.
The world is a little smaller.

Lame way to go too.

I'd vote for his book
