A year ago I noted the sad news that Howard Waldrop died of a stroke on January 14, 2024.
Seldom does a week go by when I don’t think about talking to Howard about some odd mystery of the world he might be able to elucidate. Like why do Girls Town and Sex Kittens Go To College share so much of the same cast? Or talk to him about the debacle of the Roger Corman Fantastic 4 movie and the Doomed! documentary, which we watched as a double-bill at the end of December.
I hope he’s getting more mail in the afterlife, as “mailed sucked this week” was a constant complaint from him in his later years.
Centipede Press is in the process of preparing several volumes of Howard’s work for publication, but it will be a while before that sees the light of day.
