Descriere
I
scurry
up
the
ladder
to
tug
at
his
ankles.
This
time
he
can’t
keep
his
cry
to
himself.
As
I
dislodge
one
of
his
feet
from
the
rung
they’re
desperate
to
stay
on,
he
lunges
upwards
to
clutch
at
the
gutter.
I’m
down
the
ladder
in
a
moment,
and
in
another
I’ve
snatched
it
away.
It
clatters
at
full
length
on
the
concrete
as
its
owner
dangles
from
the
flimsy
gutter.
“Help,”
he
screams.
“Look
what
he’s
done.
Christ,
someone
help.”
He’s
saying
more
than
he
needs
to,
as
so
many
of
them
do.
You’d
think
they’ve
taken
a
vow
to
use
up
all
the
oxygen
they
can,
but
he
won’t
for
much
longer.
I
watch
him
struggle
to
haul
himself
up
and
find
a
handhold
on
the
roof.
His
hand
slips
off
the
wet
tiles,
and
the
gutter
emits
a
creak
that
sounds
as
if
it’s
splintering.
I
might
enjoy
watching
him
dangle
and
wave
his
helpless
legs
for
however
many
seconds
he
has
left
.

Recenzii
"There
is
one
thing
utterly
consistent
about
the
writer
–
and
that
is
his
skill
at
unsettling
the
reader
on
a
variety
of
levels,
from
a
queasy
minor
destabilisations
to
jolting
revelations;
and
these
abilities
are
fully
exercised
in
the
new
book."
“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”
“Ramsey Campbell has succeeded more brilliantly than any other writer in bringing the supernatural tale up to date without sacrificing the literary standards that early masters made an indelible part of the 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”
“Campbell has solidly established himself to be the best writer working in this field today”
“When Mr Campbell pits his fallible, most human characters against enormous forces bent on incomprehensible errands the results are, as you might expect, often frightening, and, as you might not expect, often touching; even heartwarming”
“Britain’s leading horror novelist”
“Ramsey Campbell is Britain’s finest living writer of horror stories: considerable praise for a man whose country boasts the talents of Clive Barker and Roald Dahl, M. John Harrison and Nigel Kneale”
“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”
“The Grand Master of British horror... the greatest living writer of horror fiction”
“Britain’s greatest horror writer... Realistic, subtle and arcane”
“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”
“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”
“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”
“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”
“One of the century’s great literary exponents of the gothic and horrific”
“One of the all-time greats of 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.”
