The Collected Short Fiction

Начало книги

An ambitious title. It is intended that, one day, this epub will contain the complete short fiction of Ramsey Campbell. This current version contains exactly one hundred stories and is, by way of celebration, released publically. The custom-made cover uses artwork by Peter Elson, used for the British release of Cold Print.

With these origins in mind, the stories are presented in chronological order, from Campbell's early forays into writing by way of Lovecraft imitation—each one a worthy tale in its own right, nonetheless—through the rising splendour of his less-is-more approach to a whole range of un-nameable horrors and onto his current imperial phase as grand magus of British horror - a true legend in the field.

An index in alphabetical order, replete with strike-throughs to show missing stories, is available here for those who have a particular favourite but cannot quite place the year it appeared. 'The' and 'A/An' are ignored for alphabetical ordering purposes, i.e. The Horror From The Bridge is to be found, quite rightly, amongst Hearing Is Believing, Heading Home and The Horror Under Warrendown.
