R.I.P. Les Daniels

Apparently American horror writer and comic book historian Les Daniels died last year as well. He passed away on November 5 at age 68.

His most famous book was the 1971 nonfiction book Comix: A History of Comic Books in America but I remember him most fondly for his 1978 horror novel The Black Castle, in which he created everyone's favorite Spanish vampire Don Sebastian de Villanueva. He went on to write four more novels about this character but I still consider The Black Castle to be the best one.

In any event, he will be missed and I am sorry that it took me so long to note his passing. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
