His books are also difficult to get hold of from anywhere else but the internet. He's definitely worth seeking out though. I find Stephen Jones' annual 'Best New Horror' series to be the best place for discovering under-the-radar horror authors. There's tons of great horror fiction being published on a regular basis. It's just a shame such a majority look down on what can be such a broad, literate and imaginative genre of wrtitingYo_jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145337198754989825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-22344438506343331772009-10-14T14:05:54.735-04:002009-10-14T14:05:54.735-04:00Wow, never heard of Ramsey "Friggin'"...Wow, never heard of Ramsey "Friggin'" Campbell.

Ramsey frigging Campbell. A man who has won more awards for horror than any other writer. He is by far the best and most consistently terrifying horror writer I've read. <br /><br />I'd suggest The Grin of the Dark for this list. My favourite novel of his that I've read so far.<br /><br />You should be ashamed of yourselves :P .Yo_jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145337198754989825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-21614986094174455622009-10-14T00:23:28.395-04:002009-10-14T00:23:28.395-04:00Glad everyone is digging all the book stuff lately...Glad everyone is digging all the book stuff lately!
