Vince Liaguno, writing on Facebook, announces the death of horror author ‎Michael Louis Calvillo on 30 April 2012, “after an incredibly tough and brave battle with cancer.” Born on 9 August 1974, his 2007 novel I Will Rise (published by Lachesis Press) was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award in the category for First Novels. His novella 7 Brains was on the this year’s Stoker ballot for Long Form.
His other books include Death & Desires in the Age of Women, Blood & Gristle, Bleed for You, and Blood Hunter. His final novel, Lambs, is scheduled to be published by DarkFuse next month.
Liaguno writes “Please keep his family, especially his lovely and equally brave wife, Michelle Stockdale-Calvillo, in your thoughts and prayers. There are no words right now, only anger and tears at the utter unfairness of this.”
