Published

Our very own Don Allen is on the E3 show floor right now weaving his way through crowds of sweaty people in an effort to play as many video games as he possibly can so you don’t have to. It will take awhile to get through them all, but I’ve been told Don has audiobooks for the long lines and an economy-sized canteen of hand sanitizer.

Let’s start with some footage from the Resident Evil 0 HD remaster, coming early 2016 to PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Next up, we have Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is also slated to release early next year, but only for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Here’s another look at the Mega Man Legacy Collection, due this summer for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Included in this bundle are remastered versions of the first six games in the series.

And finally, we have a VR demo for something called Back to Dinosaur Island 2.

We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.

Ray Garton was 61 years old.

Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”

Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.

Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.

Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.

You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.

He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”

“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.

Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
