Gardner Dozois

I found out from George R R Martin’s blog this week that sometime Science Fiction writer, editor and anthologist Gardner Dozois (editor of Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine for 20 years from 1984-2004 and of the annual The Year’s Best Science Fiction anthologies 1984-2017 – in other words every single one of those so far – has died.

His influence on the field was therefore enormous.

I never met him but did send him a story or two (which he rejected graciously.)

His presence will be greatly missed.

Gardner Raymond Dozois: 23/7/1947 – 27/5/2018. So it goes.
