Reviews
Isolated
on
the
moors
of
northern
England,
the
town
of
Moonwell
has
remained
faithful
to
their
Druid
traditions
and
kept
their
old
rituals
alive.
Right-wing
evangelist
Godwin
Mann
isn’t
about
to
let
that
continue,
and
his
intolerant
brand
of
fundamentalism
has
struck
a
chord
with
the
residents.
But
Mann
goes
too
far
when
he
descends
into
the
pit
where
the
ancient
being
who’s
been
worshipped
by
the
Druids
for
centuries
is
said
to
dwell.
What
emerges
is
a
demon
in
Mann’s
shape,
and
only
the
town’s
outcasts
can
see
that
something
is
horribly
wrong.
As
the
evil
spreads,
Moonwell
becomes
cut
off
from
the
rest
of
the
world…

Descriere
Isolated
on
the
moors
of
northern
England,
the
town
of
Moonwell
has
remained
faithful
to
their
Druid
traditions
and
kept
their
old
rituals
alive.
Like
many
Peak
District
villages,
it
celebrates
an
annual
dressing
of
the
well
that
provided
a
spring
to
the
town
in
the
years
of
the
plague
–
but
in
Moonwell’s
case,
the
ritual
may
keep
an
occult
power
at
bay.
To
Moonwell
comes
the
preacher
Godwin
Mann,
whose
particularly
intolerant
brand
of
fundamentalism
appeals
to
the
inhabitants.
They
rally
almost
as
one
behind
him
and
ostracize
and
persecute
the
few
independent
souls
who
do
not.
Mann
descends
into
the
pit
in
which
the
ancient
malignant
being
worshipped
by
the
Druids
millennia
past
is
said
to
dwell.
A
local
folk
song
prophesies
what
may
happen:
“Old
moon’s
a-laughing
and
showing
his
teeth.
Harry
Moony
he’s
coming
from
his
grave
beneath…The
priest’s
in
the
well
and
the
night’s
in
the
sun.
And
nobody
leaves
till
Harry
Moony
is
done…”Intending
to
exorcise
the
demon
and
claim
the
land
for
God,
Mann
is
instead
overwhelmed.
What
emerges
from
the
pit
is
the
monstrous
creature,
clothed
now
in
the
flesh
of
Mann,
and
it
is
only
the
town's
pariahs
who
can
see
that
something
is
radically
wrong,
that
an
evil
has
been
unleashed
on
the
community.
Slowly
Moonwell
is
isolated
from
the
world,
as
telephone
lines
break
down,
a
cloud
cover
brings
continuous
darkness,
watches
and
clocks
stop,
roads
mysteriously
lead
nowhere.
And
within
this
isolation,
the
monster's
power
grows
unimpeded.
Only
Diana
Kramer,
an
American
teaching
at
the
local
school,
and
Nick
Reid,
a
journalist
who
has
come
to
believe
all
is
not
well
in
the
town,
do
their
best
to
alert
the
people…

Recenzii
"This
horror
story
is
beautifully
written,
populated
with
well-realized
characters
and
pervaded
by
an
increasingly
chilling
atmosphere
of
dread
and
anxiety."
"In every respect, Campbell's best."
“Britain’s most respected living horror writer”
“Easily the best horror writer working in Britain today”
“Britain’s leading horror writer... His novels have been getting better and better”
“One of Britain’s most accomplished horror writers”
“The John Le Carre of horror fiction”
“One of the best real horror writers at work today”
“The greatest living exponent of the British weird fiction tradition”
“England’s contemporary king of the horror genre”
“One of the few real writers in our field... In some ways Ramsey Campbell is the best of us all”
“Ramsey Campbell has a talent for terror – he knows how to give you nightmares while you’re still awake... Only a few writers can lay claim to such a level of consummate craftsmanship”
“Campbell writes the most terrifying horror tales of anyone now alive”
“He is unsurpassed in the subtle manipulation of mood... You forget you’re just reading a story”
“One of the world’s finest exponents of the classic British ghost story”
“Britain’s greatest living horror writer”
“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”
“Britain’s leading horror novelist”
“Campbell writes the most disturbing horror fiction around”
“Ramsey Campbell is better than all the rest of us put together”
“Ramsey Campbell is the best horror writer alive, period”
“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”
“Ramsey Campbell’s work is tremendous”
“Campbell is a rightful tenant of M. R. James country, the genuine badlands of the human psyche”
“One of the world’s finest exponents of the classic British ghost story... His writing explores the potential for fear in the mundane, the barely heard footsteps, the shadow flitting past at the edge of one’s sight”
“Britain’s greatest horror writer... Realistic, subtle and arcane”
“Ramsey Campbell is the nearest thing we have to an heir to M. R. James”
“Campbell is literate in a field which has attracted too many comic-book intellects, cool in a field where too many writers – myself included – tend toward panting melodrama... Good horror writers are quite rare, and Campbell is better than just good”
“Easily the finest practising British horror novelist and the one whose work can most wholeheartedly be recommended to those who dislike the genre... His misclassification as a genre writer obscures his status as the finest magic realist Britain possesses this side of J. G. Ballard”
“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”
“The foremost stylist and innovator in British horror fiction”
“There are a few writers who are special. They make the world in their books; or rather, they open a window or a door or a magic casement, and they show you the world in which they live. Ramsey Campbell, for example, writes stories that, read in quantity, will re-form your world into a grey and ominous place in which strange shapes flicker at the corner of your eyes, and a patch of smoke or a blown plastic shopping bag takes on some kind of ghastly significance.”
“One of the century’s great literary exponents of the gothic and horrific”
