Terry Pratchett, Dead at 66

The BBC is reporting that renowned fantasy author Terry Pratchett has passed away, at home, surrounded by family. Pratchett was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s in 2007, and while he had previously advocated for assisted suicide, Pratchett’s representatives say he did not take his own life.

Pratchett’s extensive Discworld series is legendary, having spawned both live action and animated adaptations. He was likely one of the greatest comedic authors of a generation, and I think we’re all sad to see him go.

His death was announced via Pratchett’s twitter account, with a line of dialogue in the style of the personification of Death in the Discworld books:

Trae Dorn has been staffing conventions for over twenty-five years. They also wrote and drew the now completed webcomic UnCONventional, and produce the podcasts BS-Free Witchcraft, On This Day With Trae, Stormwood & Associates, The Meatgrinder, and The Nerd & Tie Podcast. This leads many to ask how the heck they have the time to get it all done. Trae says they have the time because they “do it all quite poorly.”
