This is no longer recent news, but is not something I have seen mentioned here. I learned today of the untimely death of Dan Hillier via a post on his Instagram profile. Hillier was known for his creative illustration of Folio editions of The Call of Cthulhu and Steppenwolf, both superb.

On a personal note, I have long thought Call of Cthulhu to be my favourite non-limited Folio Society edition and I held out hope that we would one day see a matching set with the other S. T. Joshi-edited Lovecraft collections. Alas, it was not to be. But such concerns are a mere trifle when we are reminded how tenuous is our connection to the world of the living.

That's very sad to hear. Immensely talented artist who passed away way too young.
