Jimmy Sangster 1927-2011

In all honesty, I didn’t know he was still alive, but I’m very glad he was. He left his mark in horror film history, in a period and place I revere.

Alan Ryan

I was very sorry to hear over the weekend from Bob Booth the news that Alan Ryan died in Brazil on Friday, June 3, of pancreatic cancer. I never met Alan, but I read and admired his novels Dead White and Cast A Cold Eye when they were published. He got in touch with me via email last year and for a short period of time we talked a lot via the net. He was just getting back into writing some new horror fiction, after a long stretch when he concentrated on travel writing. Our loss. If you don’t know his work, find it.
