Indeed, few authors have been able to write in Lovecraft’s mythos and achieve the depth, subtlety, and complexity of Ramsey Campbell. When he and I first started discussing doing this interview, I remembered enjoying that book a lot, but he modestly said, “structurally it’s a mess.” He seems to be one of those authors who is constantly striving for the masterpiece, who believes books that have gone before are not up to snuff. I read his novel The Hungry Moon way back then. Lovecraft–since much of Campbell’s work is so closely intertwined with Horror’s beloved Bard of Arkham. I encountered his work in my late teens, around the time I discovered H. Few authors, unless their last names are King or Koontz, can match the number of awards he was received in his long writing career, the Bram Stoker Award, World Fantasy Award, British Fantasy Award, and the list goes on.
Just in time for Halloween, I would like to present a fantastic interview with the Grand Master of Horror, Ramsey Campbell.
