From Grand Master horror author Ramsey Campbell comes a new collection with original cover artwork by Santiago Caruso. Launching next Tuesday, December 4th, Holes For Faces by Ramsey Campbell will be offered in: leather-bound Deluxe Hardcover signed by author and artist and limited hardcover edition signed by author, other editions to be offered at a later date.
One of the most respected living horror writers in the world, Campbell has more awards for his horror tales than any other author, and "is likely to be remembered as the leading horror writer of our generation," according to S.T. Joshi. One of the heirs apparent to early-twentieth-century American author H. P. Lovecraft, Campbell's horror stories are often set in contemporary Merseyside, England, his own hometown, and involve quite ordinary characters. His unsettling, dreamlike prose, however, transforms his work into very effective horror fiction.
