"The Hands" and "Again" - profoundly disturbing, and that LAST one just about broke my mind....

"Midnight Hobo" and "The Depths." Truly, truly disturbing in an under-your-skin kind of way...

"Mackintosh Willy" and "The Show Must Go On" - Ramsey Campbell is a master at crafting such surreal horror stories out of the most mundane circumstances...

"Out of Copyright" and "Above the World." Wow. I've found that, just like Robert Aikman's work, Ramsey Campbell's work is best appreciated in the quiet still of the morning....

Just finished "The Voice of the Beach." So surreal and haunting, original cosmic horror not bound by Lovecraftian tropes. The only reason it's taking me so long to re-read is that's how you read Ramsey Campbell - slowly, in quiet, savoring every word.
