In the past week the world’s horror community has lost three great authors – David B.Silva, James Herbert and Rick Hautala.
Even though I didn’t know these men (I did have several exchanges with David via email when he was running Hellnotes.com and found him to be very cordial and receptive to the promotion of my own work), I respect them as fellow writers of what is a very unique genre.
These men, these writers, will live on in the hearts of their close friends and loved ones, but for those of us who didn’t know them, we can can get some idea of their personas through the brilliance of their words.

| David B. Silva |
I encourage every reader, horror afficionado or no, to go out and obtain copies of David, James’ or Rick’s works and pass on your condolences by immersing yourselves in their imaginations. I’m sure these horror legends would look down on us and smile.
Rest in Peace Gentlemen and thank you for your contribution to horror.
