Thanks for the suggested titles - next time I'm online buying used books (which is often) I'll get both stories. I'm always up for Ramsey Campbell, since he's already scared the hell out of me once. I don't remember why I thought the author was European (Swedish? Norwegian?). Must have been something in the author's name or the story setting.

BTW - Has anyone read "The Hollow Man" by Norman Partridge? Short but tres scary.
