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.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. 1st Edition. First edition, hardcover, inscribed by Campbell to the previous owner, sci-fi author and editor John Pelan, on the half title page. The book has a shallow skew to the binding, slight bumps to the spine ends and lower cover corners, and a very faint touch of smudging to the head of the head of the text block. Otherwise, this is a solid, tight Very Good+ copy in a like unclipped dust jacket, which has mild bumps to the spine ends and corners, and a hint of rubbing to the covers. The jacket is wrapped in a Mylar cover. Seller Inventory # 106348
