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.
