Ed Hoch (1930-2008)

Ed Hoch was a true gentleman. I read his stories when I was growing up and little did I know that I would have the honor to edit his fiction for the Strand. I remember seeing the television show Tales of the Unexpected in the '80s. One of the episodes was titled The Vorpal Blade, which was based on a Hoch story. That episode was gripping and made me a fan of his work. Ed knew of my admiration for the Vorpal Blade, so he wrote a similar story for the Strand which also involved the sport of fencing. He was close to the 1000 story mark--I wished he reached that milestone. I'll certainly miss chatting with him during the Edgar awards or Bouchercon and having the great pleasure to receive an email from him with one his stories attached.
