Summary: Campbell as a teenager
Review: Ramsey Campbell was "discovered" by August Derleth, who published this collection of stories when Campbell was 19. Here is the genesis of all the staples of the maturing Campbell--Brichester, The Revelations of Glaaki, and all sorts of other Lovecraft pastiche.

If you ever happen to see this book, look it over as an extraodinary historical document in the career of one of our more literate contemporary writers in the horror genre.
