Direttamente dalla voce dei protagonisti, un affascinante spaccato della letteratura horror, che sconfina nel cinema, nel fumetto, nella saggistica e nella poesia di genere, dedicando all'autore più rappresentativo, Stephen King, un approfondimento sulle sue opere inedite. Una eredità di storie, di incubi, di paure ancestrali sintetizzata da quattro racconti inediti di R. Campbell, R. Laymon, G. Masterton, G. Braunbeck e una shortlist di 66 libri horror.
Ramsey Campbell Libri
Ramsey Campbell è uno scrittore britannico considerato da molti critici uno dei grandi maestri della narrativa horror. La sua opera è celebrata per la sua profondità e atmosfera inquietante, che spesso si addentra nel terrore psicologico e in temi disturbanti. L'abilità di Campbell nel creare suspense ed esplorare gli aspetti più oscuri della psiche umana lo afferma come un autore di spicco nel genere. Le generazioni future lo considereranno probabilmente come il principale scrittore horror della sua epoca, al pari di leggende come Lovecraft o Blackwood.







This companion volume to the complete PS Publishing edition of The Inhabitant of the Lake and Other Unwelcome Tenants collects all of Ramsey Campbell’s remaining Lovecraftian stories that are of less than novel length. It begins with the first tale Campbell wrote immediately after that first Arkham House book, and comes up to date with the novella The Last Revelation of Gla’aki, his recent return to his own Lovecraftian territory, where he rediscovers Lovecraft’s first principles and strips away the accretions of the mythos that developed after Lovecraft’s death.The book includes the first publication anywhere of the first drafts of “Cold Print” and “The Franklyn Paragraphs”, and offers the bonus of “Mushrooms from Merseyside”, all his Lovecraftian tales inhumanly transmuted into limericks. The book also collects his Lovecraftian non-fiction, not least his transcription of an English correspondent’s letters to Lovecraft and a close reading of three Lovecraft tales.Like the companion volume, this book is superbly illustrated by Randy Broecker in the great tradition of Weird Tales.
Featuring "Lost for Words" by Ramsey Campbell, this issue showcases a blend of original stories from both veteran and emerging writers. Darrell Schweitzer and Mark Samuels contribute unique narratives, while Curtis M. Lawson explores a science fiction/horror fusion. Katherine Kerestman delivers a compelling vampirism tale, and other authors like Scott J. Couturier and Geoffrey Reiter provide unsettling glimpses into the strange. Additionally, a classic reprint of Algernon Blackwood's inaugural weird tale enriches the collection.
