Historical horror author Dan Simmons has died at age 77 from a stroke. He's probably most famous for his Hyperion series in the late 80's and more recently his novel The Terror was adapted into a series.

The Terror is his only book I've read, and it was very good if you like sprawling, historical things (which I do).

I went to a Neil Sedaka concert in one of the summer concert series here in New York. He was lovely and talked a LOT about his admiration and friendship with Carole King. Great songwriter, RIP.
