Mr
Campbell
pits
his
fallible,
most
human
characters
against
enormous
forces
bent
on
incomprehensible
errands
the

touching;
even
heartwarming”

Campbell
is
Britain’s
finest
living
writer
of

stories:
considerable
praise
for
a
man

boasts
the

of
Clive
Barker

Dahl,
M.
John
Harrison
and
Nigel
Kneale”

work
is
tremendous”
(Jonathan

is
a

tenant
of
M.
R.
James
country,
the
genuine
badlands
of
the
human
psyche”
(Norman
Shrapnel
in
the
Guardian)
“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”
(Daily
Telegraph)
“The
Grand
Master
of
British
horror...
the
greatest

“Britain’s
greatest
horror
writer...
Realistic,
subtle
and
arcane”
(Waterstone’s
Guide
to
Books)
“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”
(Starburst)
“The
finest
writer
now
working
in
the
horror
field”
(Interzone)
“Ramsey
Campbell
is
the
nearest
thing
we
have
to
an
heir
to
M.
R.
James”
(Times)
“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”
(Stephen
King)
“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”
(Daily
Telegraph)“Good
stuff.
But
strange;
so
uniquely
Campbell
that
it
might
as
well
be
trademarked”
(Stephen
King)
“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
in
the
Observer)
“The
most
sophisticated
and
highly
regarded
of
British
horror
writers”
(Financial
Times)
“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”
(Washington
Post)
“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)
“Ramsey
Campbell
is
the
best
of
us
all”
(Poppy
Z.
Brite)“The
foremost
stylist
and
innovator
in
British
horror
fiction”
(The
Scream
Factory)
“One
of
the
century’s
great
literary
exponents
of
the
gothic
and
horrific”
(Guardian)“Ramsey
Campbell
is
one
of
the
modern
masters
of
horror…
He
has
a
genius
for
infusing
horror
into
the
everyday,
piling
up
small
moments
of
dread
and
confusion
and
fear
until
they
become
insurmountable.”
(Tim
Pratt
in
Locus)“One
of
the
all-time
greats
of
British
horror
fiction”
(Damien
Walter
in
the
Guardian)“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.”
(Neil
Gaiman)
“An
absolute
master
of
modern
horror.
And
a
damn
fine
writer
at
that”
(Guillermo
del
Toro)
