Charles Black

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that horror writer, editor and publisher, Charles Black died yesterday on the 15th March in St Michael's Hospice in Hereford of cancer. Only the day before he was well enough to sit up and use his computer, but declined the following day and passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family.

We were hoping to travel to the hospice on Monday to visit him, but the end came quicker than either of us expected.
