Robert Holdstock is dead. One of my absolutely favourite writers. And I never got to meet him.

Who's going to write me more of Lavondyss, now?

He's gone into my personal Mythago Wood, for sure.

Oh dear.

This was a strange, sorrowful thing to wake up to after a night of restless dreams.

...sorry... I just needed to say something. And it was the same for me too. :(

Oh, Holdstock.

I hope he's wandering in his favourite glade now.

What is sad (as well) that there was no news article about this in HS in all day. And not the next day either. Isn't that a bit weird since Holdstock was a best selling sf-author. They reported about the bloody Diili and BB. :(

Tells something about the "cultural newspaper" that HS is.

Aavemaista. Vielä muutama viikko sitten puhuin Robsun kanssa puhelimessa (con-juttuja), ja hän vaikutti aivan virkeältä. Voi ei.

Yeah, and from what I gather, the BB victory went to some complete all-body dick who has disgustingly patriarchalist values...

Would a small eulogy to Holdstock really be too much to ask for, HS?

*kade* että olet päässyt puhumaan sen kanssa... Kaikki mitä olen lukenut sedän persoonallisuudesta antaa ymmärtää, että tyyppi olisi ollut hieno tuntea. Tai edes tavata. Snyf.

...considering at least one of his best-selling books contained also Finnish mytology?

Ex-fucking-actly!
