Från Locus, www.locusmag.com:
"Writer and editor Alan Ryan (f 1943), 68, died June 3, 2011 of pancreatic
cancer in Brazil. Born May 17, 1943 in New York, Ryan was a prolific horror
writer who won a World Fantasy Award for story ?The Bones Wizard? (1984). Some
of his short work was gathered in Quadriphobia (1986) and The Bones Wizard and
Other Stories (1988). His novels include Panther! (1981), The Kill (1982), Dead
White (1983), and Cast a Cold Eye (1985).
Ryan was also a respected editor, with notable anthologies including World
Fantasy Award nominees Perpetual Light (1982) and Night Visions 1 (1984), as
well as Halloween Horrors (1986), Vampires (1987; as The Penguin Book of
Vampire Stories, 1988), and Haunting Women (1988). He was a nominee for the
Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1980. After a 20 year absence from the
genre, he recently began selling short fiction to magazines and anthologies
again."
"Literary agent Philip Harbottle reports that his client, prolific British
writer John Glasby (who also wrote as A.J. Merak), 82, died June 5, 2011.
Glasby began publishing in the 1950s, producing vast quantities of SF and
fantasy novels under a variety of house names and personal pseudonyms for
Badger Books and other publishers."
(Badger books var en billig massmarknadspublicist, för typ kiosker. En av deras
mest kända sf-författare är Lionel Fanthorpe som skrev typp 200 böcker under
tjogtals pseudonymer.)

Ps. Dessutom: "Writer Leslie Esdaile Banks, 51, who writes fantasy as L.A.
Banks, is in the hospital with late-stage adrenal cancer."
