Ramsey Campbell is a British writer considered by a number of critics to be one of the great masters of horror fiction. T. E. D. Klein has written that "Campbell reigns supreme in the field today," while S. T. Joshi has said that "future generations will regard him as the leading horror writer of our generation, every bit the equal of Lovecraft or Blackwood.
Ramsey Campbell (b. 1946) started his career as a teenager, writing pastiches of Lovecraft, but he soon developed his own style of urban horror based around his home city of Liverpool. Aptly described by the Oxford Companion to English Literature as “Britain’s most respected living horror writer”, Campbell has produced a prolific number of novels and short stories, with most of his work falling into the category of ‘best in genre’. Choosing a favourite would be difficult – there are just so many – so I will go for the World Fantasy Award-winning ‘The Chimney’, one of the creepiest Christmas horror stories I’ve ever read, given an extra poignant twist by the author’s own childhood experiences. I haven’t yet done a Christmas anthology but, if I did, ‘The Chimney’ would definitely be in it!
