Ramsey Campbell is an interesting one... His writing style is sort of drunken stream-of-consciousness, which leads to an odd, confusing, unsettling reading experience at times.
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:
