By browsing Cold Tonnage current catalog, and then advance-searching Amazon.com, I've met this title, "GASLIGHT GROTESQUE: NIGHTMARE TALES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES", J.R.CAMPBELL(?)& Charles Prepolec eds. I've checked the Canadian publisher site at www.edgewebsite.com and the book contents is mentioning J.R.Campbell's story "Mr. OTHER'S CHILDREN". Has our kind Host edited the book and written the tale? Problem is: there is no physical resemblance to Ramsey in the Edge website photo of the book's editors! So, is there another J.R.Campbell writing somewhere, the R. at least not staying for Ramsey? I am a little bewildered. | ||

In fact it's Jeff Campbell. I think I was only once listed as "J. R. Campbell" - on the flap of the Gollancz edition of Travellers by Night, where the blurb writer found the notion that my tale "The Cellars" was "set in, of all places, swinging Liverpool - in the world of pop singers" worthy of (somewhat inaccurate) remark. | ||

Thank you, Ramsey! (I know "The Cellars", it's among the best I recall from your collection "The Height of the Scream", if my memory serves me well) | ||

Despite the fact that Ramsey's not involved, GASLIGHT GROTESQUE is still worth getting hold of. It's the follow up to last year's GASLIGHT GRIMOIRE. The new volume has stories by, amongst others, Stephen Volk, Lawrence C. Connolly, Willie Meikle, Mark Morris, Simon Kurt Unsworth, and Barbara Roden. Christopher |
