| French science fiction and horror writer André Caroff (pseudonym of André Carpouzis), born 1924, passed away yesterday at his home in Annecy in the French Alps.Caroff had been one of the leading authors of publisher Fleuve Noir's popular horror, then science fiction imprints, Angoisse and Anticipation. For Angoisse, he had created the character of "Madame Atomos," a Japanese female mad scientist out for revenge on the United States. Eighteen novels were published between 1964 and 1970, and were recently collected in a six-volume omnibus edition by Rivière Blanche. For Anticipation, he had created various series including that of Space Security Agent Tom Rod. While his sight was impaired, Caroff had embarked on a new post-apocalyptic saga for Rivière Blanche in 2006, with two volumes already released and two more to be published posthumously. In total Caroff's oeuvre included thirty horror novels and thirty-four science fiction novels. |
