- The British horror writer James Herbert has passed away at the age of 69. He will be missed. For more on the author read the article published on Boston.com.
- Global Warming and other concerns have gotten it to the point where many animals will be extinct in the future. It is sad to think that our children’s children may never be able to see a lion or an elephant because of our carelessness. Reading about them in books is certainly not the same.
- Finally, we discussed the incomparable Stephen King and the fact that he has unknowingly been the mentor of many fledgling writers over his many years as the king of horror. What do you think of the king of horror? We would love to know.
