Just thought I'd drop a line to let you know I'm looking at 13 more great short stories by Ramsey over at the Vintage Horror site. It isn't the first article I've done on his work and certainly won't be the last. http://vintagehorror.com/2012/05/13-more-great-ramsey-campbell-short-stories/ |

Thanks, Carolinec! I tend to write little synopsis of the short stories I read all the time nowadays for future use in the article. The ones by Ramsey always grows a lot faster than by anyone else. |

Thanks, Matt! Lord, how young I was when some of those were written (the earliest more than forty years ago). |

You're a true fan, Matt, with the ability and patience to home in on only the best and the talent to communicate that with insight and enthusiasm. The world needs more committed fans as much as it needs committed writers. More power to you, mate! |

Good job, Matt! I'd like to see you write some longer reviews of more of the novels and stories. I enjoyed reading this, and also your earlier notes on Ramsey and Fritz Leiber. It's always interesting to read what other enthusiasts have to say about the stories. Makes me feel like digging out the tomes and reading them all over again... |

Thank you all so much. It's an honor to receive praise from you. I started writing for Vintage Horror in hopes it might help getting some of my stories published (which I've had a few now) but I'veI gained so much more from it by discovering other fantastic writers (LeFanu, Wharton, Benson, etc.). Reading Ancient Images by Ramsey at a young age really jump started by love of the genre. I included several stories in this most recent article that were suggested by people here "Welcomeland" was one for certain. Thanks again! |
