The horror fiction community suffered a surprising and terrible loss this Thanksgiving, with the unexpected passing of Joseph McGee at the age of 23. Details aren’t known at the time, other than that he passed away in his sleep. Joe was just starting to make a name for himself in the independent press, with recent novels The Reaper and Snow Hill getting some very positive review attention.
In addition to being a very talented writer, Joe was also an amazingly generous and kind person. In fact, he had spent the last few weeks raising money to give to less fortunate families on Thanksgiving.
Details on the funeral will be posted as they’re made available from his family at this message board thread. And please be sure to check out Joe’s website for information on his books, which are still available.
Rest in peace, Joe.
