Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

Taken from the British Fantasy Society website, here’s a wonderful, thought provoking, uplifting quote from the late Robert Holdstock:

“Everything we know now is destined to die except for the forest and the earth. Earth is the eternal survivor, and homo sapiens is not part of its mindless and inexorable plan. There are many forests to come. There will be flashes of intelligence. The last thing to burn will not be a man, but a leaf.  So eat pizza and drink beer. And cheer up. It’ll soon be over.”

I was terribly sad to hear the news of Robert Holdstock’s death, at just 61 years old.  I never met him, but lots of my friends were friends of his, and it’s a very sad time for the genre.  I read THE FETCH a long time back and adored it, and I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.  MYTHAGO WOOD has been tempting me for months – I know now what I’ll be reading next.
