I really liked his short story "The Scar," though I haven't ready a whole lot else because of the above - You sort of have to be in the mood for it, if that makes any sense. My boyfriend can't stand how he writes, so I think that readers may be torn.

Honestly, I recommend picking up Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell - It's a good short story collection of his "best" works. You can find it used pretty cheap and then decide if you like it or not. That's what I did.

Here it is on Amazon if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/Alone-Horrors-...2409082&sr=8-1

Cool - What story is it? And what's the anthology? I'm always on the lookout for good short story collections.

Thank you very much Chrono, cant wait to read some of his work. Whether that be for the good or the bad. Either way it sounds interesting.

Ramsey Campbell is amazing but I suppose I'm biased.

I am currently enjoying 13 Broken Nightlights by Barry Napier

just finished "in the dark of night"by john saul,awsome,definatly the best john saul iv read

just finished a short story out of that book by tim lebbon,anyone else read any of his stuff,it was such a good story,a bloody savage supernatual story with no happy endings.

Been meaning to read Tim Lebbon for awhile. Been hearing he's good. I'll have to at some point. I just started reading Under The Dome by Stephen King.
