- Reviews -

"Britain' s most respected living horror writer" "One of the century' s great literary exponents of the gothic and horrific" "Easily the best horror writer working in Britain today. " "Good horror writers are quite rare, and Campbell is better than just good" -- Stephen King "The John Le Carre of horror fiction" "Britain' s greatest living horror writer" "He is unsurpassed in the subtle manipulation of mood. . . You forget you' re just reading a story" "Britain' s leading horror novelist. " "An absolute master of modern horror. And a damn fine writer at that" -- Guillermo del Toro "I would say that only five writers have written serious novels which incorporate themes of fantasy or the inexplicable and still qualify as literature: T. E. D. Klein, Peter Straub, Richard Adams, Jonathan Carroll and Ramsey Campbell. " -- Stephen King "The most sophisticated and highly regarded of British horror writers" "He writes of our deepest fears in a precise, clear prose that somehow manages to be beautiful and terrifying at the same time. He is a powerful, original writer, and you owe it to yourself to make his acquaintance" "One of the few who can scare and disturb as well as make me laugh out loud. His humour is very black but very funny, and that' s a rare gift to have" -- Mark Morris "For sheer ability to compose disturbing, evocative prose, he is unmatched in the horror/fantasy field. . . He turns the traditional horror novel inside out, and makes it work brilliantly" -- Fangoria "A horror writer in the classic mould. . . Britain' s premier contemporary exponent of the art of scaring you out of your skin" "The undisputed master of the psychological horror novel" "Perhaps the most important living writer in the horror fiction field" -- David Hartwell "Ramsey Campbell' s work is tremendous" -- Jonathan Ross "The Grand Master of British horror. . . the greatest living writer of horror fiction" "In Campbell' s hands words take on a life of their own, creating images that stay with you, feelings that prey on you, and people you hope never ever to meet" "The finest writer now working in the horror field" "Ramsey Campbell is the nearest thing we have to an heir to M. R. James" "A return to and a revisioning of some of his earliest imaginings, the trilogy is a kind of autobiography of its protagonist, in which his lifelong struggle with a supernatural agency occurs against the backdrop of post-war British history. The result is a magisterial work, though such a description scants the novels' propulsive readability. It' s another remarkable achievement in a career full of them. " -- Locus Magazine
