		Ramsey Campbell is the kind of idiosyncratic writer who can create wordscapes that are like no other.

		As Campbell writes about the grit and grime the workers are finding on the books and in the store, as he unfurls the fog with its stale taste, he manages to get under the reader's skin.

	DarkEcho Review: Ramsey Campbell & Modern Horror Fiction by ST Joshi
		Campbell's fellow Liverpudlian Clive Barker (and junior by only six years) is fast becoming a brand name himself.
		Perhaps the single area Joshi touches on too lightly on is Campbell's influence on a younger generation of writers, but this is probably an impossibility at this stage.
		Ramsey Campbell and Modern Horror Fiction certainly belongs in every library on both sides of the Atlantic, on a good many shelves owned by horror critics and mavens and should be read by any sincere student of modern horror.

	Ramsey Campbell
		At the suggestion of August Derleth, he rewrote many of his earliest stories, which he had originally set in the Massachusetts locales of Arkham Dunwich and Innsmouth, and relocated them around the fictional city of Brichester, located near the River Severn, apparently upstream of Bristol and downstream of Gloucester.
		Other tales, such as "The End of a Summer's Day" and the remarkable "Concussion", show the emergence of Campbell's mature, highly distinctive style, characterised by an intense focus on an often insane or distorted consciousness, a rich use of metaphor to vivify inanimate objects, and disorienting shifts in the narrative structure.
		Campbell's supernatural horror novels include Incarnate (1983), in which the boundaries between dream and reality become blurred to spectacularly disorienting effect; and Midnight Sun (1990), in which an alien ice-entity apparently seeks entry to the world through the mind of a children's writer.
