I've been reading some of Fritz Lieber's Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser stories recently and I remember hearing how much Ramsey liked Lieber's writing. I know he wrote horror as well but it made me wonder if Ramsey has ever written any S&S style tales? If he has I haven't come across them yet but would like to check them out. Thanks, Matt | ||

Does the novelisation of Solomon Kane count? | ||

I'm still working my own way through the 'Lankhmar' collection with just a few stories to go - brilliant stuff. Imaginative, thrilling and often very funny. Have you ever tried Karl Edward Wagner's 'Kane' stories & novels - they're second only to Robert E. Howard imo. Would be curious to read that Ramsey Campbell collection... | ||

Thanks for the help everybody. I'd like to check out that Campbell collection as well. | ||

Ramsey's sword and sorcery stories, as you would expect, have moments of impressive visual horror. Especially 'The Pit of Wings' (which I suspect was inspired by a KFC dinner). |
