Iain Banks

[Eatmyownbrainwithaspork]

Gutted. What an amazing writer and man. Blew my mind with his. Made me laugh, cry and see the world in all its weird irony. Love, just loved his books. Use of Weapons almost killed me ... almost heart stopping: didn't realise books could do that til I read it. He saw the present and future so clearly. Wasp Factory ... it's pretty much perfect. Sleep well. Will really really miss your annual offerings.

RIP.

RIP.

I wanted to start a thread on another writer I really liked who passed this year but didn't get a chance. So a belated RIP to our very own horror King in James Herbert.

I've only just started on his Culture books, had no idea he had cancer.

RIP.

Wow I had NO IDEA! The Fog and Fluke are two fantastic books from my youth, not to mention Rats and Lair...
