Subsequently Campbell briefly disavowed Lovecraft, whilst working on the radically experimental tales which would be published as the collection <i>Demons by Daylight.</i> He later acknowledged Lovecraft's lasting influence, and his subsequent Cthulhu Mythos tales, collected in <i>Cold Print</i> (1985; expanded in 1993), confirm the transition from pastiche to homage, most notably in such tales as "The Faces at Pine Dunes" and the eerily surreal "The Voice on the Beach" (1982). Later work still seeks to "ascend the cosmic peaks achieved by Lovecraft", particularly the novel <i>The Darkest Part of the Woods</i> (2003), the novella <i>The Last Revelation of Gla'aki</i> (2013), and three novels that form his Brichester Mythos trilogy (2016–18). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_1970s:_"Determined_to_be_myself":_Demons_by_Daylight_and_early_novels"><span id="The_1970s:_.22Determined_to_be_myself.22:_Demons_by_Daylight_and_early_novels"></span>The 1970s: "Determined to be myself": <i>Demons by Daylight</i> and early novels</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ramsey_Campbell&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: The 1970s: "Determined to be myself": Demons by Daylight and early novels"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>With his stories written between 1964 and 1968, beginning with <i>The Reshaping of Rossiter</i> (first draft of <i>The Scar</i>), <i>A Garden at Night</i> (first draft of <i>Made in Goatswood</i>) and <i>The Successor</i> (first draft of <i>Cold Print</i>), Campbell set out to be as unlike Lovecraft as possible.

He finished the collection that would become <i>Demons by Daylight</i> in 1968, but it would not see print until 1973. Meanwhile, from 1969 to 1973, he continued to write short stories in which he gradually developed his own voice and themes and left the influence of Lovecraft far behind. Campbell worked in the Liverpool Public Libraries as a library assistant (1966–73) and was acting librarian in charge (1971–73). </p><p>In 1969, he had written <i>Lovecraft in Retrospect</i>, a violent diatribe against Lovecraft, for the <a href="/wiki/Fanzine" title="Fanzine">fanzine</a> <i>Shadow</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "condemning [Lovecraft's] work outright."<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, in his 1985 book <i>Cold Print</i>, which collects his Lovecraftian stories, Campbell disavowed the opinions expressed in the article, stating: "I believe Lovecraft is one of the most important writers in the field"<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and "the first book of Lovecraft's I read made me into a writer."<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Around 1970, Campbell stopped using his first initial "J." on his work, though a few stories earlier than this appeared as by "Ramsey Campbell", and a few after still saw print as by "J. Ramsey Campbell". Campbell later legally changed his name to remove the "John". </p><p>After working four years in the tax office and seven years in public libraries, by 1973, Campbell became a fulltime writer, encouraged by the issuance by Arkham House of his second collection, <i><a href="/wiki/Demons_by_Daylight" title="Demons by Daylight">Demons by Daylight</a></i> (as by Ramsey Campbell). That collection had been due for publication in 1971, but was held back two years by the death of <a href="/wiki/August_Derleth" title="August Derleth">August Derleth</a>. <i>Demons by Daylight</i> includes <i>The Franklyn Paragraphs</i>, which uses Lovecraft's documentary narrative technique without slipping into parody of his writing style. Other tales, such as <i>The End of a Summer's Day</i> and <i>Concussion</i>, show the emergence of Campbell's highly distinctive mature style, of which <a href="/wiki/S._T._Joshi" title="S. T. Joshi">S. T.

Initially published in various anthologies, these stories were finally gathered in the collection <i>Far Away & Never</i> (Necronomicon Press, July 1996). In 1976 he 'completed' three of <a href="/wiki/Robert_E._Howard" title="Robert E. Howard">Robert E.

By the time Arkham House published his second hardcover collection of horror stories, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Height_of_the_Scream" title="The Height of the Scream">The Height of the Scream</a></i> (1976), he was beginning to be seen as one of the major modern writers of horror. </p><p>1976 also saw the publication of Campbell's first novel, <i>The Doll Who Ate His Mother</i>, which immediately drew acclaim from figures such as <a href="/wiki/Fritz_Leiber" title="Fritz Leiber">Fritz Leiber</a> and <a href="/wiki/T.E.D._Klein" class="mw-redirect" title="T.E.D.

In this and <i>The Face that Must Die</i> (1979), Campbell began to fully explore the enigma of evil, touching on the psychological themes of possession, madness and alienation which feature in many of his subsequent novels. He also continued to write short stories, mainly supernatural, receiving the <a href="/wiki/World_Fantasy_Award" title="World Fantasy Award">World Fantasy Award</a> for "The Chimney" (1977) and "Mackintosh Willy" (1980). </p><p>Campbell has been a lifelong enthusiast of film; early stories such as <i>The Reshaping of Rossiter</i> (1964; an early version of <i>The Scar</i>) show the influence of directors such as <a href="/wiki/Alain_Resnais" title="Alain Resnais">Alain Resnais</a>, and as early as 1969 Campbell had become the film reviewer for <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_Merseyside" title="BBC Radio Merseyside">BBC Radio Merseyside</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Ramsey_Campbell_2008_28-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ramsey_Campbell_2008-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He worked in Merseyside on the Friday edition of "Breakfast" and less frequently on Claire Hamilton's Sunday show.

The series has a rather complex publishing history. They were published in paperback in 1977 in the US, with uniform packaging, by Berkley Medallion Books as <i>The Universal Horror Library</i>. All six of the Berkley editions were published under the <a href="/wiki/Pen_name" title="Pen name">house name</a> 'Carl Dreadstone'; all six of the US editions featured stills from the relevant films. It is believed this set was made available as boxed set in slipcase, as well as sold individually. Only three of the novels were actually written by Campbell, though he contributed introductions to all six volumes. No US hardcover edition of the series is known. Campbell's contributions to the series were <i>Bride of Frankenstein</i>, <i>Dracula's Daughter</i> and <i>The Wolfman</i>, published as Carl Dreadstone. Three further novelisations which appeared under this house name were not by Campbell but written by other authors.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Walter_Harris_(author)" title="Walter Harris (author)">Walter Harris</a> wrote two of the novels: <i>Werewolf of London</i> and <i>Creature from the Black Lagoon</i>.

A further two years would elapse before the rest of the series was issued in the UK. The last three of the series were issued by Star Books (a W. H. Allen imprint) in 1980 (with different packaging from the 1978 titles) and these three appeared under a different house-name—'E. K. Leyton'. These were Campbell's remaining two novels of the series, <i>Dracula's Daughter</i> and <i>The Wolfman</i>, together with Harris's <i>Creature from the Black Lagoon</i>. At least one hardcover omnibus was published, presumably prior to the UK paperbacks: <i>The Classic Library of Horror Omnibus—The Mummy & The Werewolf of London</i> (London: Allan Wingate, 1978). Its existence suggests there may have been two companion hardcover omnibuses collecting the balance of the series (if this were the case they would contain the Campbell-authored novels), but their existence/issuance is uncertain.

The polish of his writing and his mannered turns of phrase and image make him seem something like the genre's Joyce Carol Oates [...] as when journeying on LSD, there is something chilly and faintly schizophrenic in the way his characters see things ... and in the things they see [...] Good stuff. But strange; so uniquely Campbell that it might as well be trademarked.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>King also singled out one of Campbell's early short stories for particular praise: "<span style="padding-left:0.15em;">'</span>The Companion' may be the best horror tale to be written in the English language in thirty years; it is surely one of the half a dozen or so which will still be in print and commonly read a hundred years from now."<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This story appeared in Campbell's 1982 collection, <i>Dark Companions</i>, alongside other tales from that period commonly cited as early classics: "The Chimney", "Mackintosh Willy", and "Call First". </p><p>Starting with <i>The Parasite</i> (1980; published in the US with a different ending as <i>To Wake the Dead</i>), and continuing throughout much of the decade, Campbell's full-length novels were consciously aimed at a more commercial audience. It features a point of view of a female protagonist who becomes embroiled in occult practices (with Lovecraftian undertones). In <i>The Nameless</i> (1981), also told from the point of view of a woman, a child goes missing and returns only years later, affiliated to a nefarious organisation. <i>Obsession</i> (1982) involves a group of childhood friends making a wish apiece concerning their futures, the manifestations tormenting them in later life; however, as is common in Campbell's work involving aberrant mental states, it is not entirely apparent that these events have a supernatural origin. In <i>Incarnate</i> (1983), the boundaries between dream and reality are gradually broken down as a group of characters involved in a psychological experiment begin to experience fragmentation in their everyday lives (the novel was written during the "terrible nightmare year" of Campbell's mother's last mental breakdown). </p><p>In <i>The Claw</i> (1983; originally published under the pseudonym Jay Ramsey) a family man is tempted by an African talisman to devour his own daughter and in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Hungry_Moon" title="The Hungry Moon">The Hungry Moon</a></i> (1986) a primordial moon entity stokes the religious hysteria of a quiet community. The latter book is a favourite among fans and a multi-character 'small town' horror story along the lines of similar work in this period, a subgenre arguably 'pump-primed' by the likes of Stephen King's <i><a href="/wiki/%27Salem%27s_Lot" title="'Salem's Lot">'Salem's Lot</a></i>. In characteristically honest and self-critical afterwords,<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Campbell has claimed that, despite its popularity, <i>The Hungry Moon,</i> along with the similarly commercial <i>The Parasite</i> and, to a lesser degree, <i>The Claw</i>, are among the least successful of his works from this period, by turns awkwardly structured, containing too many ideas, and/or tending towards explicit violence. In contrast Campbell has stated his pride that <i>The Influence</i> (1988) and <i>Ancient Images</i> (1989) are subtler, tightly plotted novels of supernatural menace, each with (predominantly) female central characters and generating unease through the author's trademark suggestiveness and surreal imagery. In 1987, Campbell published <i>Scared Stiff</i>, a collection of "sex and horror" short stories. </p><p>In the early 1980s Campbell had crossed paths a number of time in Liverpool at cinemas and various parties with a young Liverpool writer named <a href="/wiki/Clive_Barker" title="Clive Barker">Clive Barker</a>, who had been working around London as a playwright. Barker asked Campbell if he knew any markets for short stories and eventually asked him to look over a soon-to-be-published manuscript and the contract he had been offered for it. Campbell says "My jaw dropped when I looked at the manuscript—it turned out to be the <i><a href="/wiki/Books_of_Blood" title="Books of Blood">Books of Blood</a></i>." Campbell wrote the introduction to the first edition.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Campbell contributed numerous articles on horror cinema to <i><a href="/wiki/The_Penguin_Encyclopedia_of_Horror_and_the_Supernatural" title="The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural">The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural</a></i> (1986). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_1990s:_Midnight_Sun_to_The_Last_Voice_They_Hear">The 1990s: <i>Midnight Sun</i> to <i>The Last Voice They Hear</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ramsey_Campbell&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: The 1990s: Midnight Sun to The Last Voice They Hear"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The 1990s again saw Campbell publish eight novels, though in the second half of this decade he moved away from traditional horror to explore crime and tales of social alienation. Four of this decade's novels won awards. </p><p>In <i>Midnight Sun</i> (1990), an alien entity apparently seeks entry to the world through the mind of a children's writer. In its fusion of horror with awe, <i>Midnight Sun</i> shows the influence of <a href="/wiki/Algernon_Blackwood" title="Algernon Blackwood">Algernon Blackwood</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Machen" title="Arthur Machen">Arthur Machen</a> as well as Lovecraft. It is one that many enthusiasts single out as a highlight of this stage of his career. <i>Needing Ghosts</i> (1990), a novella, is a nightmarish work that blends the horrific and the comic; Campbell himself has described the composition of this piece as unique among his work in that it "felt like dreaming on the page" and was written relatively quickly without technical or structural challenges. </p><p>A sympathetic serial murderer appears in the black comedy <i>The Count of Eleven</i> (1991), which displays Campbell's gift for <a href="/wiki/Word_play" title="Word play">word play</a>, and which the author has said is disturbing "because it doesn't stop being funny when you think it should".<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A review at the time suggested that the central character might be played in a film by Stan Laurel, an observation that delighted Campbell, who is a great admirer of Laurel and Hardy. Other novels of this decade include <i>The Long Lost</i> (1993), in which a <a href="/wiki/Sin-eater" title="Sin-eater">sin-eater</a> is discovered by a couple holidaying in Wales and brought home ostensibly as a relative, with considerable impact on a community. A haunted house novel called <i>The House on Nazareth Hill</i> (1996), combining the author's M R Jamesian suggestiveness with an increasingly idiosyncratic prose style, is a study of familial psychology and the unchanging nature of social processes, particularly those relating to the young's quest for independence and the threat this presents to others. </p><p>Campbell had earlier published a non-supernatural novel called <i>The One Safe Place</i> (1995), which uses a highly charged <a href="/wiki/Thriller_(genre)" title="Thriller (genre)">thriller</a> narrative to examine social problems such as the deprivation and abuse of children, and in 1998 he turned away for a more sustained period from the supernatural work with which he was associated. By this time, horror had become commercially less successful and publishers were taking fewer chances on publishing such material, all of which encouraged Campbell to write a number of crimes novels. The first, <i>The Last Voice They Hear</i> (1998), is a tightly plotted thriller which ranges back and forth in time as two brothers become engaged in a cat-and-mouse game redolent of earlier events in their lives. Although written "under protest", Campbell came to think of the book, during composition, as bearing his own stamp, and his next two novels were also non-supernatural. </p><p>In this decade Campbell issued four short story collections, including, in 1993, the 30-year career retrospective <i><a href="/wiki/Alone_with_the_Horrors:_The_Great_Short_Fiction_of_Ramsey_Campbell_1961%E2%80%931991" title="Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell 1961–1991">Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell 1961-1991</a></i>, published by Campbell's original publisher, <a href="/wiki/Arkham_House" title="Arkham House">Arkham House</a>. This volume, illustrated by Jeff K. Potter, is not a comprehensive collection of all the stories Campbell had published in those thirty years, rather 39 tales which Campbell and his editor Jim Turner thought representative. Drawing on material across his career to that date, it is considered a good entry point for readers unfamiliar with his work. <i><a href="/wiki/Waking_Nightmares" title="Waking Nightmares">Waking Nightmares</a></i> (1991), <i><a href="/wiki/Strange_Things_and_Stranger_Places" title="Strange Things and Stranger Places">Strange Things and Stranger Places</a></i> (1993), and <i><a href="/wiki/Ghosts_and_Grisly_Things" title="Ghosts and Grisly Things">Ghosts and Grisly Things</a></i> (1998) collect much of Campbell's short fiction from this period. Two of this decade's short story collections won awards. </p><p>In 1999, Campbell was awarded both the Grand Master Award from the World Horror Convention and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_2000s:_Silent_Children_to_Creatures_of_the_Pool">The 2000s: <i>Silent Children</i> to <i>Creatures of the Pool</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ramsey_Campbell&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: The 2000s: Silent Children to Creatures of the Pool"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the "noughties", Campbell continued his prolific output, publishing multiple novels, along with three short story collections. He reviewed films and DVDs weekly for <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_Merseyside" title="BBC Radio Merseyside">BBC Radio Merseyside</a> until 2007, and began to contribute a monthly film column, "Ramsey's Ramblings", for <i><a href="/wiki/Video_Watchdog" title="Video Watchdog">Video Watchdog</a></i> magazine. In 2002, PS Publishing issued a collection of Campbell's essays on horror and other areas of interest: <i>Ramsey Campbell, Probably</i> (this volume was expanded to include further material in a 2014 reprint). The collection includes book reviews, film reviews, autobiographical writings and other nonfiction, along with reminiscences and appreciations of authors such as <a href="/wiki/John_Brunner_(novelist)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Brunner (novelist)">John Brunner</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bob_Shaw" title="Bob Shaw">Bob Shaw</a> and <a href="/wiki/K._W._Jeter" title="K.

Having spent a number of months working full-time in a <a href="/wiki/Borders_Group" title="Borders Group">Borders</a> store, Campbell wrote <i>The Overnight</i> (2004), about <a href="/wiki/Bookshop" class="mw-redirect" title="Bookshop">bookshop</a> staff trapped in their hellish workplace during an overnight shift. In <i>Secret Stories</i> (2005; abridged US edition, <i>Secret Story</i>, 2006) Campbell returned to the crime genre with a blackly comic study of a serial killer whose written accounts of his crimes inadvertently win a fiction competition, resulting in further murders. </p><p><i>The Grin of the Dark</i> (2007) draws on Campbell's interest in the history of cinema, as a character seeks material relating to a silent film comedian by the name of Tubby Thackeray. The novel also explores the impact of the internet on human consciousness. The author, often critical of his own output, continues to cite this novel as one with which he remains pleased. <i>Thieving Fear</i> (2008) and <i>The Creatures of the Pool</i> (2009) use locations in and around the author's native Liverpool to eerie effect. </p><p><i><a href="/wiki/Told_by_the_Dead" title="Told by the Dead">Told by the Dead</a></i> (2003) and <i><a href="/wiki/Just_Behind_You" title="Just Behind You">Just Behind You</a></i> (2009) collected Campbell's more recent short fiction, while <i><a href="/wiki/Inconsequential_Tales" class="mw-redirect" title="Inconsequential Tales">Inconsequential Tales</a></i> (2008), collecting a number of unpublished stories, documents his early evolution as a stylist. </p><p>In 2007, Campbell was awarded the Living Legend Award from the International Horror Guild.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_2010:_The_Seven_Days_of_Cain_to_the_"Brichester_Mythos_Trilogy""><span id="The_2010:_The_Seven_Days_of_Cain_to_the_.22Brichester_Mythos_Trilogy.22"></span>The 2010: <i>The Seven Days of Cain</i> to the "Brichester Mythos Trilogy"</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ramsey_Campbell&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: The 2010: The Seven Days of Cain to the "Brichester Mythos Trilogy""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ramsey_Campbell.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Ramsey_Campbell.jpg/220px-Ramsey_Campbell.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="295" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Ramsey_Campbell.jpg/330px-Ramsey_Campbell.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Ramsey_Campbell.jpg/440px-Ramsey_Campbell.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1500" data-file-height="2010" /></a><figcaption>Campbell at a book signing in <a href="/wiki/New_Brighton,_Merseyside" title="New Brighton, Merseyside">New Brighton</a></figcaption></figure> <p>After 2010, Campbell continued to publish at least a book a year, including a collection of letters from his early career between himself and his first mentor August Derleth (<i>Letters to Arkham: The Letters of Ramsey Campbell and August Derleth, 1961-1971</i>, ed. S. T. Joshi, 2014) . </p><p>Both <i>The Seven Days of Cain</i> (2010) and <i>Think Yourself Lucky</i> (2014) explore use of the internet, as characters originally appearing online start to impact upon the real world with disconcerting effects. In 2010, Campbell was commissioned to write the novelisation of the movie <i><a href="/wiki/Solomon_Kane_(film)" title="Solomon Kane (film)">Solomon Kane</a>,</i> which was based on the swords and sorcery stories of Robert E. Howard (some of which Campbell had completed in his early career)<i>.</i> <i>Ghosts Know</i> (2011), one of the author's few latter-day non-supernatural excursions (on the surface, at least), explores the mendacity of stage mediums/psychics in the context of a missing person story; it also showcases a later development in the Campbell's work, social comedy and confusions inherent in everyday communication. <i>The Kind Folk</i> (2012) is a delicately written evocation of fairy folk, told in the modern day. </p><p>In 2013, <i><a href="/wiki/Holes_for_Faces" title="Holes for Faces">Holes for Faces</a></i>, a further collection of short fiction appeared, gathering together his work from the 2000s. During the same period, PS Publishing issued two novellas by Campbell: <i>The Last Revelation of Gla'aki</i> (2013) and <i>The Pretence</i> (2013). A third novella appeared in 2016 entitled <i>The Booking,</i> from Dark Regions Press. These were the first novellas Campbell had written since 1990's <i>Needing Ghosts</i>. 2015 saw the release of <i>Thirteen Days by Sunset Beach</i>, one of Campbell's few novels set outside the UK; a family holiday on a Greek island involves communion with a familiar supernatural character from literature. Campbell's collection of playful limericks based on famous horror works of fiction appeared in 2016: <i>Limericks of the Alarming and Phantasmal.</i> </p><p><i>The Searching Dead</i> (2016) was the first novel in a trilogy of H P Lovecraft-influenced works which, like the novella <i>The Last Revelation of Gla'aki,</i> revisits themes from Campbell's early work. Described by the author as his "Brichester Mythos trilogy", the three-book series, including <i>Born to the Dark</i> (2017) and <i>The Way of the Worm</i> (2018), documents a character's engagement with a nefarious organisation over three time periods (1950s, 1980s, 2010s) and evokes a cosmic entity by the name of Daoloth. The trilogy draws together multiple themes that have preoccupied the author during his whole career: the cosmic, family, scapegoating, the vulnerability of children, and the seductiveness of totalising belief systems. </p><p>A new short story collection, <i>By the Light of my Skull,</i> was also released in 2018, gathering together some of Campbell's more recent works, some of which—as has been the case in his later fiction—deal with older age. <i>Visions from Brichester</i> (2017) collected all of the author's Lovecraftian short fiction not originally published in <i>The Inhabitant of the Lake</i>. PS Publishing issued the first of a two-volume retrospective focused on Campbell's most representative short fiction across his entire career: <i>The Companion & Other Phantasmagorical Stories</i> (2019). </p><p>In 2015, Campbell received the World Fantasy Award's Life Award, and in 2017, in Spain, he was awarded the Premio Sheridan Le Fanu for his career achievements. In 2015, the author received an Honorary Fellowship from John Moores University, Liverpool, for "outstanding services to literature". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_2020s:_The_Wise_Friend_to_present">The 2020s: <i>The Wise Friend</i> to present</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ramsey_Campbell&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: The 2020s: The Wise Friend to present"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>The Wise Friend</i> was published in spring 2020 by new publisher Flame Tree Press (which has also reissued earlier Campbell novels in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook). Among the quietest of the author's work, this novel draws on folk horror as a father seeks to protect his son who has become involved with a legacy with occult overtones. A new novella, <i>The Enigma of the Flat Policeman,</i> part of Borderlands Press's Little Book series (in this case, <i>A Little Green Book of Grins & Gravity</i>), was released in March 2020. It consists of an incomplete short detective novel the author wrote aged 14 in imitation of John Dickson Carr, with annotations exploring the adult author's perceptions of his younger self's psychological state at the time of composition. The second volume of PS Publishing's career retrospective, <i>The Retrospective & Other Phantasmagorical Stories,</i> was published in late 2020. Another Campbell career retrospective (with a different selection of tales) appeared in 2020 from Centipede Press as part of their <i>Masters of the Weird Tale</i> series, also issued in two volumes. </p><p>In July 2021, Flame Tree Press released <i>Somebody's Voice</i>, a non-supernatural thriller novel which focuses on themes of identity, memory, and mental disintegration; after an author ghost-writes a memoir, his grip on reality slides when the truth turns out to be less assured than he was led to believe. A third volume in PS Publishing's career retrospective series, <i>Needing Ghosts & Other Novellas</i>, was published in 2021; the book collects all of the author's novellas to date and includes a new novella, <i>The Village Killings</i>. Also in 2021, a new edition of the author's sword and sorcery collection <i>Far Away and Never</i> was published (by DMR Books), including an extra story. In the same year, Dark Moon Books published a Campbell edition of their primer series (<i>Exploring Dark Fiction</i> <i>#6: A Primer to Ramsey Campbell,</i> which includes a new short story), while PS Publishing also released a new expanded edition of the author's collected essays, <i>Ramsey Campbell, Certainly.</i> In 2023, PS Publishing published a new short story collection by Campbell called <i>Fearful Implications,</i> along with his personal tribute to The Third Stooges, <i>Six Stooges and Counting</i>. </p><p>Campbell's 2022 novel <i>Fellstones</i> is oriented around the author's love of classical music and is squarely in the tradition of British folk horror, as a young man suffers in later life unwanted attention from a family that adopted him in childhood and that still lives in a village occupied by seven standing stones; the novel is a return to themes of cosmicism. Campbell latest novel, <i>The Lonely Lands</i>, explores themes of the afterlife as a man loses his wife to Covid and experiences communications from her after death. But other less welcome people also return and he must do what he can to protect her from them. Campbell has recently completed a new novel called <i>The Incubations</i> and is currently working on another entitled <i>An Echo of Children</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Style_and_themes">Style and themes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ramsey_Campbell&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Style and themes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Campbell's style is characterised by an idiosyncratic use of language. His fictional worlds feel unusual, threatening, and dislocated. Such an approach prompted <a href="/wiki/Peter_Straub" title="Peter Straub">Peter Straub</a> to write in a blurb for one of Campbell's early novels: "Horrors in his fiction are never merely invented, they are felt and experienced, and affect the reader for days afterward." The horrors Campbell evokes are commonly suggested to the reader by ambiguous allusions to events his characters are not always mindful of. In this regard, his approach is similar to that of <a href="/wiki/M._R._James" title="M. R. James">M. R. James</a>. Indeed, Campbell celebrates James's concentrated prose, choice of detail, and ability to hint at disquieting material much larger than what is explicitly revealed. Campbell has described much of his own later work as "comedies of paranoia",<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> as his characters experience an existential bewilderment that borders on the absurd. </p><p>Campbell himself has cited the following themes as recurrent in his work: "the vulnerability of children, the willingness of people to espouse a belief system that denies them the right to question, and the growing tendency to create scapegoats for the ills of the world."<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, his work has addressed a wide range of issues, including censorship (e.g., <i>The One Safe Place</i>, 1995), the impact of the internet on consciousness (e.g., <i>The Grin of the Dark</i>, 2007; <i>The Seven Days of Cain</i>, 2010; <i>Think Yourself Lucky</i>, 2014), corporation-led consumerism (the recurrence of a global organisation called Frugo in his later work, especially <i>The Overnight</i>, 2004, and <i>Thieving Fear</i>, 2008), fatherhood (<i>The House on Nazareth Hill</i>, 1996), and older age (<i>Thirteen Days by Sunset Beach</i>, 2015). Abnormal human psychology is also a major recurring theme in Campbell's work (e.g., <i>The Face That Must Die</i>, 1979; <i>The Count of Eleven</i>, 1991; <i>The Last Voice They Hear</i>, 1998; <i>Secret Stories</i>, 2005; <i>Somebody's Voice</i>, 2021). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tributes">Tributes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ramsey_Campbell&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Tributes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Four tribute anthologies of stories inspired by Campbell's work have been released to date.

Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass) consists of stories focused on one of Campbell's Lovecraftian creations, and <i>Darker Companions</i> (2017, PS Publishing, edited by Joe Pulver and Scott David Aniolowski) contains tales inspired by the author's vision and prose. In Spain, a further tribute anthology recently appeared entitled <i>El Horror Que Vino del Sur: Un Tributo Latino a Ramsey Campbell Y Al Circulo de Lovecraft</i> (2018, Bookbaby). All four books demonstrate Campbell's influence in the field on both established and newer writers. In 2021, <i>Phantasmagoria</i> magazine published a special edition (#4) devoted to Campbell''s work, boasting many critiques and tributes from his peers. </p><p>In 2012, Campbell attracted a spoof collection of horror stories edited by fellow writer <a href="/wiki/Rhys_Hughes" title="Rhys Hughes">Rhys Hughes</a>.
