I know him from his novel The Wasp Factory. Freaky stuff. Talented man. Sad to hear he is about to leave us.

Yeah, he has perhaps as many or more straight(er) fiction books. I haven't read any of them.

I've read many of his books and loved them a lot. This guy is a great science fiction writer. It's a very sad news!!!

Well, you know, in a way I wasn't surprised. I mean, the images I'd seen of him in the last few years, he wasn't that old but he was lookin old. My psychic sense told me he might be short-timed.
And on that note...

I think he still can do something about it, but it would be rather drastic, in the sense of being non-standard medicine. But what has he got to lose?
I told him all that in my entry there, but he may not even see it....
