I am very sad to hear that Robert Holdstock died this morning. Robert Holdstock was a giant of British fantasy writing, who had a unique insight in to mythology and landscape of our land. I am only familiar with his 'Mythago Cycle' of books; after reading the first of these 'Mythago Wood' the woods appeared changed or maybe I merely accessed them and experienced them differently; I certainly saw and heard them differently. The books of the 'Mythago Cycle' are master pieces of the genre and master pieces of the written word. He has written many many other fine novels and stories; all of these will continue to amaze and enthral people. A fine legacy. Our sympathies are with his family and friends, he will be greatly missed.
