Fuck :(

I didn't see that. RIP.

Major Author Dies
Philip Jose Farmer has passed away at age 91. Primarily known as a science fiction writer, he did write three horror novels. According to the Clute/Nicholls Encyclopedia of SF, IMAGE OF THE BEAST; BLOWN; and TRAITOR TO THE LIVING comprise the Exorcism trilogy. While not raising any eyebrows today, they were originally published as pornographic horror. Porn publisher Essex House commissioned them and published the first two. Ballantine Books published the third as science fiction. I read all three and think they're great. Recommended.

His Wode-Newton Universe was a big inspiration on Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sucks to hear he's gone.
