Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell 1961-1991 ReviewI agree with Miss Jamesons report. I too was feeling disillusioned with the formulaic and frankly dull horror novels available in the stores (obviously not including Straub and King who i had read many years ago). I chanced upon this book, and having read the praise on the jacket took a risk on an author i had not heard of.
This book is extremely well written and makes a worthy contender as a modern day M R James. The stories are both subtle yet grotesque and shadowy. I cannot think of a bad story in the collection (a problem which many of Kings anthologies suffer from). The stories do not only deal with horror but themes of lonliness and urban despair. Also the english town settings add a feeling of odd normalcy against which the suggested horrors are sharply contrasted. I highly recommend this collection (which incidentally is terrific value) and urge fans of cerebral horror to seek it out.
Personal Highlights include 'The Man in the Underpass', 'Mackintosh Willy' and 'Out of Print.'Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell 1961-1991 Overview
