Ramsey Campbell: Master of Weird Fiction

COVER ART Glenn Chadbourne
FOREWORD by Ramsey Campbell

In every way this monograph should be regarded as merely a preliminary study of Campbell. Because much of his work is not widely known to the general public, I have felt the need to provide fairly detailed synopses of his major novels and tales, and this has reduced the space available for analysis. While I have chosen to
study Campbell’s work thematically, I am aware that many other perspectives could be employed.

Although the opinions in this book are of course my own, I have also received much useful information from Stefan Dziemianowicz, Michael A. Morrison, and Steven J. Mariconda.
