When the man who unapologetically kills off all your favourite Game of Thrones characters for a living says that he's had enough of 2016, you know it's bad.
He took to his blog to explain how upset this year has made him feel. We get you, George. He wrote: "Death, death, and more death... this year just keeps getting worse and worse.
"There is not much I can say about the death of Carrie Fisher that a thousand other people have not said already. She was way too young. A bright, beautiful, talented actress, and a strong, witty, outspoken woman.
"Princess Leia will live as long as STAR WARS does... probably forever..."
He then went on to discuss his feelings regarding the death of Watership Down author Richard Adams. He wrote: "And the world lost one of its great fantasists today as well: Richard Adams, the author of WATERSHIP DOWN.
"Gardner Dozois ranks WATERSHIP DOWN as one of the three great fantasy novels of the twentieth century, right up there with LORD OF THE RINGS and THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING, and I agree.
"A truly amazing book... and one that somehow always seems to get forgotten when fans discuss the great fantasies. Maybe because of the talking rabbits? No idea..."
He ended his blog with what we're all thinking: "Please, let this wretched year come to an end."
Not long to go now, George.
