If we were talking poets, I’d have to say Emily Dickinson because I’d really like to see the re-write of that “stop for death” poem with a “hey, I’m back!” and a zombie twist thrown in.

Charles Dickens. I’d lock him in a house with a great supply of food and let him finish “The Mystery of Edwin Drood.”

Great question, Jim! I don’t have to think twice about this one, my favorite author, W. Somerset Maugham. I can just see myself now, curled up in my easy chair next to a cozy fire ready to read his newest novel! *Sigh* Pure bliss!!!

Although I thought 1984 was an extremely effective story (and extremely effective propaganda) I used to find the basic premise – the level of camera surveillance necessary – pretty unbelievable. Today the UK has one of the highest (if not the highest) levels of camera surveillance in the world. Sorry George. Seems you were right all along. Sort of.

Most of the writers cited were already past their sell-by date. What about Robert E. Howard? He was only thirty when he committed suicide.

For me it has to be Angela Carter. I just *know* there was a Lizzie Borden book that she never got a chance to write

Jonathan, I agree whole-heartedly. I was going to say the same thing. 😀

Edgar Allan Poe. The guy died when he was forty, but his production up until then was just dizzying. Most writers never pen a masterpiece; Poe cranked out at least a dozen of them in his sadly abbreviated life.

(Time to throw some sewage in the soup….hehe)

Robert Jordan. Fine, he’s not the greatest writer, or most groundbreaking, but the fact he won’t be remembered as the man that wrote the Wheel of Time, but as the man who died before he finished it, will be a travesty (Even though I think Brandon Sanderson is doing a great job).
