Synopsis

Ramsey Campbell's novels have justly won him acclaim as one of the best writers of the age. A three-time winner of the World Fantasy Award and eight-time winner of the British Fantasy Award, his writing has struck a chord with readers worldwide. GHOSTS AND GRISLY THINGS is a chilling collection of the best of Campbell's recent short fiction, much of it never before available - and one enigmatic story, entitled Ra*e is published here for the first time anywhere. The stories often begin with small everyday anxieties but Campbell uses this familiarity to pull the reader to extreme levels of intensity and madness.

Author Bio

Critically acclaimed both in the US and in England, Campbell is widely regarded as one of the genre's literary lights for both his short fiction and his novels. His classic novels, such as The Face that Must Die, The Doll Who Ate His Mother, and The Influence, set new standards for horror as literature. His collection, Scared Stiff, virtually established the subgenre of erotic horror.

He has been President of the British Fantasy Society and has edited critically acclaimed anthologies, including Fine Frights.
