Barrington J Bayley

Barrington J Bayley has died.*

He wrote some bizarre and entertaining stuff, sometimes even at the same time. His story “Love In Backspace” in New Worlds 4, 1994, is a perfect example.

He was one of the most undeservedly unsung SF authors of the 20th century. I well remember Angus McAllister singing his praises on a panel at some convention or other. It might have been one of the Glasgow Eastercons.

The Locus obituary is here.
