Can there be anyone out there who hasn’t encountered Ramsey’s work? Heck, can there be anyone who doesn’t absolutely adore these joyous, blackly humorous tomes of downright nastiness and terror? Well, I reckon the answer on both counts—strange as it may seem—is a resolute ‘yes’. And that’s odd when you consider the esteem in which the fellow is held. Just take a look:

“Britain’s most respected living horror writer.” (Oxford Companion to English Literature)

“Easily the best horror writer working in Britain today.” (Time Out)
        
“Britain’s leading horror writer. His novels have been getting better and better.” (City Limits)
        
“The John Le Carré of horror fiction.” (Bookshelf, Radio 4)

“The greatest living exponent of the British weird fiction tradition.” (The Penguin Encyclopaedia of Horror and the Supernatural)

“Ramsey Campbell has succeeded more brilliantly than any other writer in bringing the supernatural tale up to date without sacrificing the literary standards that early masters made an indelible part of the tradition.” (Jack Sullivan, editor of the Penguin Encyclopaedia)

“One of the few real writers in our field. In some ways Ramsey Campbell is the best of us all.” (Peter Straub)

“Ramsey Campbell has a talent for terror – he knows how to give you nightmares while you’re still awake. Only a few writers can lay claim to such a level of consummate craftsmanship.” (Robert Bloch)

“Campbell writes the most terrifying horror tales of anyone now alive.” (Twilight Zone Magazine)

“He is unsurpassed in the subtle manipulation of mood. You forget you’re just reading a story.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Britain’s greatest living horror writer.” (Alan Moore)

“Ramsey Campbell is better than all the rest of us put together.” (Dennis Etchison)

“A horror writer in the classic mould.  Britain’s premier contemporary exponent of the art of scaring you out of your skin.” (Q Magazine)

“The undisputed master of the psychological horror novel.” (Robert Holdstock)

“Perhaps the most important living writer in the horror fiction field.” (David Hartwell)

“Ramsey Campbell’s work is tremendous.” (Jonathan Ross)

“Campbell is a rightful tenant of M. R. James country, the genuine badlands of the human psyche.” (Norman Shrapnel in the Guardian)

“One of the world’s finest exponents of the classic British ghost story. His writing explores the potential for fear in the mundane, the barely heard footsteps, the shadow flitting past at the edge of one’s sight.” (Daily Telegraph)

“Ramsey Campbell is the nearest thing we have to an heir to M. R. James.” (Times)

“Campbell is literate in a field which has attracted too many comic-book intellects, cool in a field where too many writers – myself included – tend toward panting melodrama. Good horror writers are quite rare, and Campbell is better than just good.” (Stephen King)

“Easily the finest practising British horror novelist and the one whose work can most wholeheartedly be recommended to those who dislike the genre. His misclassification as a genre writer obscures his status as the finest magic realist Britain possesses this side of J. G. Ballard.” (Daily Telegraph)

“Good stuff. But strange; so uniquely Campbell that it might as well be trademarked.” (Stephen King)

“One of the few who can scare and disturb as well as make me laugh out loud. His humour is very black but very funny, and that’s a rare gift to have.” (Mark Morris in the Observer)

“He writes of our deepest fears in a precise, clear prose that somehow manages to be beautiful and terrifying at the same time. He is a powerful, original writer, and you owe it to yourself to make his acquaintance.” (Washington Post)

“I would say that only five writers have written serious novels which incorporate themes of fantasy or the inexplicable and still qualify as literature: T. E. D. Klein, Peter Straub, Richard Adams, Jonathan Carroll and Ramsey Campbell.” (Stephen King)

“One of the century’s great literary exponents of the gothic and horrific.” (Guardian)

“Ramsey Campbell is one of the modern masters of horror… He has a genius for infusing horror into the everyday, piling up small moments of dread and confusion and fear until they become insurmountable.”   (Tim Pratt in Locus)

“There are a few writers who are special. They make the world in their books; or rather, they open a window or a door or a magic casement, and they show you the world in which they live. Ramsey Campbell, for example, writes short stories that, read in quantity, will re-form your world into a grey and ominous place in which strange shapes flicker at the corner of your eyes, and a patch of smoke or a blown plastic shopping bag takes on some kind of ghastly significance.” (Neil Gaiman)
