(1942-1987) US editor, reviewer and author who entered the sf world as a fan and soon began to publish book reviews, beginning with pieces in the Fanzine Granfalloon and Science Fiction Review and contributing to the department "The Future in Books" in Amazing Stories from November 1969 to May 1970. In Delap's F & SF Review he created a valuable review organ, whose folding was regretted. As a reviewer he was highly visible, being passionate, opinionated, and clear. With Terry Dowling and Gil Lamont he co-edited the Harlan Ellison collection The Essential Ellison: A 35-Year Retrospective (coll 1987). His only novel, Shapes: A Romance of Horror (1987) with Walt Lee, is a Horror in SF tale about an extraterrestrial Shapeshifter who takes on male human form and inflicts himself upon vulnerable women (see Sex).
