Oh no! What a loss...

He was a tremendous editor. I have several of his anthologies in arms' reach. Famous for sci-fi, but his horror anthology The Dark Descent has to be one of the best surveys of the genre ever compiled.

Sorry to hear this. He was a fixture at every convention I ever attended. I will miss him on panels and for his editing.

I thought it was was interesting. I was barely familiar with his work. At the bottom, she included this short page, which is oddly formatted, but is also about Hartwell and his fashion.
