I haven't read anything yet but both the Cthulhu stories and Necroscope have been on my horror-fiction list for some time. |

Lumley and Ramsey Campbell were probably the two most important British contributors to the Cthulhu Mythos. |

R.I.P. to American actress, singer and dancer Chita Rivera, who has passed away aged 91. In a Broadway career that spanned more than 70 years, she originated the roles of Anita in West Side Story, Velma Kelly in Chicago, and the title character in Kiss of the Spider-Woman. Over the course of her career she was nominated for a Tony award 10 times, and won twice: for The Rink in 1984, and Kiss of the Spider-Woman in1993. Additionally, she was awarded a special Tony for lifetime achievement in 2018, was the first Latino American to receive a Kennedy Center Honor (in 2002), and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.  |

R. I. P. Carl Weathers. You had to love Apollo Creed. And I thought he was a damn hoot in Arrested Development. "Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going."  |

He'll alway be Apollo Creed to me. A very charismatic actor. Shame to hear he's passed.

I'm sorry to say that I can't recall Gozer (edit: I mean his peronality, the kind of things he liked to talk about, etc), though the name sounds familiar, so I'm guessing I didn't interact much either. The CBR memories are becoming hazier with every passing day. |
