Exploring Dark Short Fiction #6: A Primer to Ramsey Campbell by Ramsey Campbell, Michael A. Arnzen, Eric J. Guignard

5.0

Excited to share this title, to which I contributed several analytical essays in addition to a longer essay, called "Why Ramsey Campbell Matters." Every one of these "primers" from Dark Moon Books includes at least one original story, on top of a selection of the author's 4-5 best short stories, with interviews and more. I would be buying this series if I wasn't already a part of it, and the Ramsey Campbell entry is an outstanding one. If you want to understand how the "uncanny" plays out in horror fiction, or about "psychological irrealism," or about how horror has evolved since the mid-20th century to the 21st century today, then check this book out!
