Harlan Ellison Died At 84 on June 27th 2018

I know that both that this is now old news and not the usual type of things I post on this blog,but Harlan Ellison is one my favorite authors, who I admire and greatly respect and it saddened me greatly when I had first learned of his death.

"
Speculative-fiction writer Harlan Ellison, who penned short stories, novellas and criticism, contributed to TV series including “The Outer Limits,” “Star Trek” and “Babylon 5” and won a notable copyright infringement suit against ABC and Paramount and a settlement in a similar suit over “The Terminator,” has died. He was 84.
Christine Valada tweeted that Ellison’s wife, Susan, had asked her to announce that he died in his sleep Thursday." - Taken from Variety to give some context to those who may not know who Harlan "one of the greatest modern writers" was.  So that given I felt it fitting to show this video of him talking about Ceasing to Exist back when the public had been misinformed of his death back in 2013 but this time sadly he is actually gone.  So without further ado here is the man himself talking on youtube, despite his dislike of internet technology.
